This looks like something falls in the firmwares roll of setting
up hardware into a sane and useful state.  Especially as things like
setting the FSB etc seem (from 10000 feet) to require mainboard
specific knowledge. 

Beyond that is why I really like having two copies of LinuxBIOS in my
ROM chip because then recovery really is just restart the machine.
You get the fallback code and everything works.  You reflash the other
image, or you change cmos settings to get the normal case working
again.
