I suggest you checkout LinuxBIOSv2, then patch the Sun Ultra40 target directly until you get it to work (it's easy to see what you changed that way -- just do 'svn diff'). Then we can create a new mainboard directory and target etc... What's the Super I/O? That should be the first thing to add. You need it for serial output. Edit src/mainboards/sunw/ultra40/auto.c and change the Super I/O which is used there. You also might need to change targets/sunw/ultra40/Config.lb to match the size of your ROM chip and the payload etc. etc. There are other things you'll probably need to change. Start with the Super I/O, then report back to the mailing list and we'll try to help...
