Well, the OS needs ACPI, but I'm defnitiely not going to parse a DSDT in SeaBIOS. > 2. device tree > 3. OFW tree. I'm not that familiar with them. My preference would be something very simple, like key/value pairs.

That's a good question. I don't have a reliable way of measuring times. I don't perceive a slowdown, but it's hard to tell because epia-cn is a bit quirky right now -- coreboot seems to reboot like three or four times before launching SeaBIOS. -Kevin -- coreboot mailing list: [email protected] http://www.coreboot.org/mailman/listinfo/coreboot
