Sure - I placed a test image temporarily at: http://linuxtogo.org/~kevin/SeaBIOS/test/coreboot-qemu-freedos-20090818.bin You can add "-serial stdio" to qemu to see the debugging info. > Are there any size limitations with respect to the ROM?

The floppy image size is limited to 2.88MB, but of course it must fit within flash. > Next wish: GPXE..but that can wait till Syslinux 4.xx is done :) GPXE works well with SeaBIOS - see: http://www.coreboot.org/SeaBIOS#Adding_gpxe_support -Kevin ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Let Crystal Reports handle the reporting - Free Crystal Reports 2008 30-Day trial.
