[OpenBIOS] newbie

[San Mehat]

Thats a great idea man.

I'm also an OpenBIOS 'newbie' (although not new to writing bring-up 
firmware on other platforms), and am
interested in getting involved.

One question.. I seem to have noticed that there doesnt appear to be a 
lot of chipset specific code in CVS (or perhaps i'm just missing it 
somewhere). I read in the x86/entry.S that the cpu is expected to be in 
protected mode
with flat memory setup already. Does this mean that theres a 'missing 
link' that needs to be done to get the chipsets up and memory 
initialized? Or is it just somewhere else that I've missed?.

Thanks
