[coreboot] Problem with boot coreboot

[Mike Banon]

For the beginning, I recommend you to check if you could boot anything
at all. In example, try making an Ubuntu LiveUSB from a spare USB
flash drive,
and using SeaBIOS try booting from it. If it is working, you could
also try installing Ubuntu to a spare Hard Drive and also try booting
for it.
If all this is working (means the SeaBIOS booting capabilities are
fully functional both for USB and SATA interfaces) - while booting
FreeBSD still doesn't work - that means something is wrong either with
FreeBSD installation or (more likely) its partition table or maybe
GRUB2 is corrupted. Then you could try restoring GRUB2, by following
these instructions for example -

Best regards,
Mike Banon
