Hello,


i tried recently also to combine coreboot+seabios+gpxe.
Sadly it didn't work.

Are my addresses correct?

0000:00:12.0 Ethernet controller: VIA Technologies, Inc. VT6102 [Rhine-II] (rev 78)
0000:01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: VIA Technologies, Inc.: Unknown device 3344 (rev 01)

#define OPTIONROM_BDF_1 0x0100
#define OPTIONROM_MEM_1 0x1FF80000
#define OPTIONROM_BDF_2 0x0060
#define OPTIONROM_MEM_2 0x1FF70000

i have a 512KB rom.
i put the vga rom in first place, then the gpxe rom and after them the coreboot rom.
(cat video.rom  gpxe-via.rom coreboot.rom > cb_seagpxe.rom)
64k video.rom bios and 64k gpxe-via.rom
