I connected up a serial cable and saw that it was starting coreboot! Then I watched NanoBSD boot (with NO pcib hangs!!) and was able to ssh into it.

Ya I guess I never got around to posting my recipes. It would be good to blow the dust off this project again and get some help from the rest of you in getting VGA on boot to work, as well as choosing alternate boot device - I just haven't been able to get these things to work!

I'll try and consolidate my notes  and post them in the next few days.
