- yuhong 12y agoThat is why I said "easier".
- pgeorgi 12y agoWhich doesn't matter since both seabios and tianocore already exist. But seabios is much, much easier to integrate because it has fewer moving parts
- microcolonel 12y agoMany coreboot installs(including those on x86 chromebooks) have SeaBIOS included. you just press C-l at boot and it drops you into the standard PC BIOS. If you've gone through and removed the warranty-voiding screw(which is not warranty-voiding in europe) you can enable it by default(and also just load your kernel directly as a payload, which I think is a better idea). There is also talk, and perhaps actual implementation, of TianoCore running on top of coreboot. SeaBIOS is also used by VirtualBox, and probably Xen as well.
