Hi Kevin,
Thanks for taking a look and thanks for your suggestions.
So, SeaBIOS is not designed to detect and run a VGA option rom from a PCIe video card? I was hoping that I could get SeaBIOS to act similar to the vendor BIOS and not have to use a serial based console.
SeaBIOS can use VGA on PCIe cards - the problem appears to be that SeaBIOS isn't scanning all the PCI buses on the machine. Try setting extra-pci-roots as described previously.
Any ideas on SeaBIOS not booting from hard disks or USB storage devices?
I suspect the problem with USB storage is really just a result of VGA not working and the behavior of third-party bootloaders when a vgabios isn't found. See my previous email.
