The good way to fix that is for you to send patches for the Kconfig
help messages. *After* you have researched what the options do.

Without the boot interface , GRUB 2 (package grub-pc 1.99-7 from Debian
Sid/unstable) is not loaded when running coreboot with SeaBIOS 1.7.2.1
as payload on the ASRock E350M1. Only the SeaBIOS banner is shown and
nothing else happens afterward.
