In the interim of moving ACPI tables out of
seabios, developers should get the config from
QEMU tree to keep things in sync.

This code implements an X86 legacy bios. It is intended to be
compiled using standard gnu tools (eg, gas and gcc).
-To build, one should be able to run "make" in the main directory. The
-resulting file "out/bios.bin" contains the processed bios image.
+To build, one should be able to run "make" in the main directory.
+QEMU might only need a part of the BIOS binary, and different QEMU versions
+might need different seabios configurations to work well. To build
+a bios for qemu, one needs to copy the config file from qemu source tree:
+
+ cp $QEMU_DIR/roms/config.seabios $SEABIOS_DIR/.config
+
+(where $QEMU_DIR is the qemu source directory, $SEABIOS_DIR points to the
+seabios build directory); and then run make in the seabios main directory with
+this configuration:
+
+ make olddefconfig
+
+The resulting file "out/bios.bin" contains the processed bios image.
Testing of images:
