i810 might still work.
Here's a photo of the board, with a close-up of the flash chip:

You still need spare flash chips and a way to program them.
See http://www.coreboot.org/FAQ#How_do_I_.28re-.29flash_the_BIOS.3F

When you can program the chip you'll want to see console output, either
over the serial or EHCI debug port.

> DMI string baseboard-manufacturer: "Trigem Computer, Inc."
> DMI string baseboard-product-name: "Cognac"
> DMI string baseboard-version: "None"
> DMI string chassis-type: "Other"
> DMI chassis-type is not specific enough.

It actually is a desktop: blame the vendor or ODM for being lazy/lax and
not filling that in.

Unsupported as-is, but generic enough to configure it to send serial output.

This one is easy to handle by yourself :)
