[pve-devel] coreboot support

[Michael Rasmussen]

Hi all,

Apparently mail.proxmox.com does not like large messages so this one
without the boot.rom

I have successfully make a boot rom with coreboot using seabios as
payload;-) works both in proxmox-3.4 and proxmox-4.0. I have done very
little tweaking except for disable HVM support in seabios.

To compile coreboot I needed to use the in-source supplied cross
compiler and I had to grab the seabios code myself and use a compiled
payload from there.

Steps:
1) fetch coreboot-4.1.tar.xy
2) fetch coreboot-blobs-4.1.tar.xy
3) fetch seabios-1.8.2.tar.gz
4) cd coreboot-4.1 && make crossgcc
5) cd seabios-1.8.2 && make menuconfig (CONFIG_COREBOOT 1,
CONFIG_DEBUG_SERIAL 1) && make
6) cd coreboot-4.1 && make menuconfig (point payload
to ../seabios-1.8.2/out/bios.bin.elf && make

I have attached both configs and my boot.rom for testing (should be
renamed to .config in the appropriate folders)
