There is no standard way to do this in coreboot-v2. What other platforms seem to do is hardcode certain addresses in the C code and then just memcpy them from flash to ram. On my via, I hacked the code so that it still copies the vga option rom, but does not run it. However, it should be possible to setup a standard in coreboot-v3. Each rom could go in a LAR file and coreboot could copy them. For example, we could define a directory "/optionroms/" and each file could automatically be uncompressed and copied. -Kevin -- coreboot mailing list [email protected] http://www.coreboot.org/mailman/listinfo/coreboot
