Hello Idwer Vollering,
I came across an old mailing list item concerning the H8SGL Opteron
motherboards.
https://mail.coreboot.org/pipermail/coreboot/2013-April/075629.html
Is it truly the case that the single socket boards are already supported by
Coreboot (as well as the C32 Opteron version)? I cannot find any other
information about these elsewhere. Any information that you might have would
be extremely appreciated.

Some boards are supported, those mentioned here and in the subject
line seem absent.
See https://www.coreboot.org/Supported_Motherboards and
https://github.com/coreboot/coreboot/tree/master/src/mainboard/supermicro
for what is up-to-date.
It wouldn't be very difficult to add support, all you really have to do
is change IRQ assignments and HT mapping etc, I myself am working on a
port of the H8SCM to the native coreboot code as the AGESA version
doesn't have IOMMU support.
There are several supermicro boards that are better than the ASUS
D8/D16's, as they have dual northbridge (more pci-e lanes), better
onboards nics, onboard SR-IOV RAID controller etc and of course they are
newer (2014 vs 2010)
I wouldn't recommend putting in the work however as they won't support
the upcoming OpenBMC like the asus ones although you could maybe replace
the onboard BMC BGA chip to get it if the pinouts are the same for both.
The best G34 board period is the H8QG4-LN4F.
