[coreboot] Trouble with T60p (whine and trackpoint dead)

[David Griffith]

I'm trying out Coreboot on a Thinkpad T60p.  I followed the instructions 
at https://github.com/bibanon/Coreboot-ThinkPads/wiki/ThinkPad-T60p until 
I got the flashing part.  There it wasn't clear where the 
lenovobios_firstflash and lenovobios_secondflash scripts were to be found. 
On IRC, someone pointed me to 
https://github.com/rabcyr/libreboot/blob/master/lenovobios_firstflash.  I 
used that and got what seems like a failure[1].  A few minutes after this, 
the laptop decided to go to sleep and I couldn't wake it.  I rebooted and 
evidently somehow Coreboot and SeaBIOS took.

Now I suppose I'm at the stage where I do the second flashing.  In the 
meantime, the trackpoint stick and buttons won't work anymore and there's 
an intermittent high-pitched whine from the left side of the keyboard.

Did I actually succeed in flashing my T60p?  Did I do anything wrong?  How 
do I fix the trackpoint and get rid of the whine?
