Well OpenBIOS is obviously some sort of ... BIOS. Ideally, you put it into a 
flash ROM, or into a ROM image file for the emulator in your case. OpenBIOS 
basically does not do any platform initialisation (yet), thus it's a good 
companion for LinuxBIOS. You build LinuxBIOS for your (virtual) hardware and 
specify OpenBIOS as payload. For testing and development, you can build an 
ELF binary to be loaded directly by e.g. grub.
