[coreboot] Windows XP boots

[Myles Watson]

Kevin,

It changed the behavior for me for XP installation.  Now I get "Hardware
Malfunction  Contact your hardware vendor for support."

I used 6 for the number of PCI buses.

It still hangs in the same place for ReactOS.  It wants me to press enter to
continue, but it's frozen.

Thanks,
Myles
