That would be difficult as SeaBIOS really wants to live at 0xf0000. Outside of CSM I don't think that's possible on UEFI. > 2) Provide a minimum UEFI environment.

(That is, implement a minimal uefi spec natively within SeaBIOS?) I looked at that briefly a few years back, but the uefi spec is crazy complex. It may be feasible if someone (eg, uboot) has been able to identify a minimal implementation that works in practice with modern real world OSes. -Kevin -- coreboot mailing list: [email protected] https://www.coreboot.org/mailman/listinfo/coreboot
