Hi Peter- I had already testes the coreboot + Linux kernel without SeaBIOS, that works fine. But I do want the rest of the boot menu presented by SeaBIOS because I usually use Windoze as well.
Even if I put the initrd inside the kernel, that can't be loaded by SeaBIOS unless the whole thing is an ELF file, right?
How would that step go (vmlinuz -> ELF)?

Sure, and I find it far more attractive than arcane floppies, charming as they are.
Build your kernel to include your initramfs, the kernel config option is CONFIG_INITRAMFS_SOURCE.
Then use that kernel as payload. This page may be useful:

Note that using Linux as payload was the very origin of coreboot.
This may also be useful, though AFAIK nobody has confirmed that it works:
