    How to add SeaBIOS to your ROM's

    + +

    + 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. +

    + +

    + Build cbfstool:
    + $ ./builddeps-cbfstool +

    + +

    + 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. +
