I offered to build a LinuxBIOS for the NSC geode line for free to NSC but they weren't interested.
You can ask NSC for source to the ExpressBIOS/ExpressLoader. It's mostly (nasty Assembly code) source except for a few parts that they only release as a binary, which is why a full open source LinuxBIOS hasn't been built yet since nobody has bothered to reverse engineer the "secret parts" of the Geodes yet.
