I'm running OpenBSD on a NRG-Systems apu4d2 board. This board has
coreboot by default. I haven't yet experienced any issues.

Lots of ThinkPads such as X220, X230, T420, T430, etc. have excellent
support for both coreboot and OpenBSD.

I'm using an X230 with coreboot and SeaBIOS using the linear framebuffer;
disabling inteldrm(4) on this machine makes efifb(4) attach and graphics
work, however I have never tested it more thoroughly.

Those systems don't have a graphics framebuffer, which is the entire
point of John's email.

Not sure what a good machine is, but jcs@ added support for the
coreboot framebuffer to support x86 chromebooks.

Good CoreBoot system?

What would be a good system with CoreBoot to get for OpenBSD testing?

It looks like there are some edge cases where the CoreBoot framebuffer
support won't behave the same as the EFI framebuffer.
