[coreboot] How to convert a v2 board to CBFS?

Hi,

I tried converting the MSI MS-6178 (i810 chipset) to CBFS by looking
at the recent CBFS patches which went in and blindly guessing what I
have to do :) It _seemed_ to work (builds fine), but doesn't boot then.

I see 0x0E on the POST card, no serial output at all.

Here's my current patch:

Am I doing something wrong, or missing some code changes?

(I'm additionally killing the 'normal' image for more space
in the ROM, but that's an unrelated change)

Thanks, Uwe.
