Not sure if X230 is shipped with BIOS or UEFI, but either methods
desribed on that page will work. Use the vendor image if possible to
extract the VGA Option ROM. A valid dump will be exactly 64K in size,
the first two bytes being `55 aa'.

I never booted Windows but here are my coreboot and SeaBIOS
configurations used in a working build including the pci8086,0166.rom
blob to initialise graphics.
