OpenBIOS Support

[Mike]

I'm a newbie on the list, and I'm just wondering about support forums for OpenBIOS ... is there an IRC channel that one could get help implenting/installing? I have an old Dell d600 I got cheap at a garage sale, that doesn't recognise its hdd, cd drive, or usb for booting -- people have said that I must have a bad BIOS. Is this machine a good candidate for OpenBIOS? And is there a live support forum for a noob to get some assistance?

Probably not. But you can check the list of motherboards supported by
coreboot here:
