my personal bias here would be ... no assembly. The flash roms are 1 MB
and if we can't write a good C bios in that much room we're doing
something wrong. 

doesn't matter, I'm doing my work in C. But I was surprised and happy to
see that OpenBIOS switches very early on to protected mode and shortly
after that to C.
