    How to add SeaBIOS to the ROM images

    - -

    - SeaBIOS isn't really needed since libreboot uses the GRUB payload which - is much better (for several reasons), so it is no longer included in the ROM - images by default. Instead, you can add it afterwards. -

    - -

    - In the supplied binary archives, or in your own (if you did 'build-release') you can add SeaBIOS - to the ROM images, along with SeaVGABIOS which is a free/libre Video BIOS implementation that wraps - around the 'native graphics initializitation' code in coreboot, for boards that have support for it. -

    - -

    - First, install the build dependencies. -

    - -

    - Binaries for cbfstool are provided (built from libreboot_src) statically linked under cbfstool/ and the addseabios - script (see below) will try to automatically select the right one to use. -

    - -

    - Now:
    - $ ./addseabios -

    - -

    - SeaBIOS and SeaVGABIOS (which the build scripts created, and the build-release script put - compiled - - inside the binary archive) have now been added to all of the ROM images under ./bin/. A GRUB menuentry will show - up when you boot your machine, allowing you to use SeaBIOS. -
