I've heard of it. I plan to use some of their code for init purposes, I
think.

the thing is, linuxbios is not a bios in the sense of the others. our goal
is to boot linux fast, and let it do the work. We don't care if you can't
run dos. 

I do think that openbios should be picking up on some of the freebios and
other work. There is too much assembly in openbios for my taste.
