Thank you for the reply. I since tried to use FILO as my payload instead of
SeaBIOS and still have issues, so I agree it seems to be an issue with
coreboot or my coreboot configuration. I have also tried the pc machine
type and not setting any machine type in QEMU with no luck. I put up a post
on the coreboot mailing list, so hopefully they can point me in the right
direction. Thanks again.
