Dear Kevin,
Please could you tell me, why the memory allocation functions like
malloc_tmphigh() are failing at do_boot() stage? (boot.c) . Because of
this "VARVERIFY32INIT" problem described in my letter above -

Thank you very much for clarifying, Kevin. I finally moved this ram
allocation to do_boot function (line 800) at boot.c - after the
printf("Booting from Floppy...\n") - but sadly it seems that
memalign_tmphigh and similar malloc'ing functions (like
malloc_tmphigh) are not allowed at this stage:

sorry Kevin I'm not fully understanding the consequences. Would
reserving e820 memory for all the floppies - result in a slightly

All the floppy images available at CBFS will be found and listed in a
boot menu, instead of the first found. Could be highly valuable if you
are participating in a hobby OS development - would like to test
multiple versions of your floppy in the same coreboot image, to reduce
the amount of
