Dear Ross,
thank you for your message. First three off-topic things. 1. Please send just plain text messages and no HTML. This is covered in the netiquette [1]. 2. When pasting stuff please turn off line wrapping. This is not possible with the Google Mail Web interface as far as I know. So either attach this stuff as text files or use a good mail user agent like Thunderbird/Iceweasel, Mutt, …. 3. The project name is spelled all lower case: coreboot.

So make sure you have a way to recover. Easiest way is when the flash chip is socketed to get some spare flash chips. Since this is a laptop you probably need to solder a socket or an adapter to the board like was done with the X60 or T60 [3][4]. You also need to find out if an embedded controller is used and how it works. Lastly you also need the laptop board schematics I think to set everything up. Then you should be able to do the port pretty easily I think. Look at the commits for the X60 and T60.
