My understanding is this:
1. the option rom is some place SeaBIOS can find. So we can use
SeaBIOS as a payload to boot.
2. the option rom is in zipped in coreboot.rom. So I should copy bin
of SeaBIOS to coreboot and let the scsi controller option rom install
int13 in coreboot. So some boot loader can load the OS from scsi
storage.

Is this OK?
