Seems like a hint ... Do you have instructions for how to build coreboot 
for the Acer and write it into the existing coreboot image? I assume a 
similar process would be needed as for the updating of SeaBIOS -- Kevin 
posted a script that I think he wrote was based on info you gave him. Is 
messing up coreboot a way to brick that device?
