I see two clear fractions here. One that, like me, wishes to create a full, complete BIOS with all the functions that goes with it (keyboard, video, storage etc). And one that supports the minimalistic approach with just a bootloader in the Flash ROM. How should we deal with this? Should we make two seperate versions of OpenBIOS? Or should we join our efforts in making one, very flexible and configurable BIOS? Any other ideas?
I think we should make it flexible and support both. If you just want the B and the S, you say so when you configure/compile it (maybe a selection that hides all other options when selected). If you want more, you say so. I think this should be possible. People that want the minimalistic thing work on that part, and people who wants more features, like I and O can work on those features. Together we make the fantastic thing called OpenBIOS! :)
