Install the according -dev packages.
I don't know how they're called in SuSe.

Yes you can, depends on how big your flashchip is.
Flash parts are available with sizes up to 8Mb, and this would be enough space
to put a whole kernel image & busybox into it. (Maybe even a tiny x server
should be possible in 8Mb.)

I don't think that there are pre-compiled images from coreboot available,
which means that you need to compile your coreboot image yourself, which is
pretty easy using buildrom-devel.
