Looking briefly at the fc18 rpms, it appears that seabios is included into the hvmloader binary. If so, I doubt it would matter to the distros as then it's already a separate copy (embedded within hvmloader). BTW, does Xen implement the "fw_cfg" interface to pass config info (eg, bootorder) to SeaBIOS? -Kevin _______________________________________________ SeaBIOS mailing list [email protected] http://www.seabios.org/mailman/listinfo/seabios
