+ D16 and D8 doesn't boot with GRUB payload, see + https://ticket.coreboot.org/issues/48 + - workaround: seabios as main payload, compress grub and put that in cbfs too, configure + seabios with 0s delay (no interface) and set it to boot grub from cbfs by default. + Some notes, courtesy of tpearson on IRC:
+ create a binary file with the single byte value numeric 0 in it, then add it to CBFS as 'etc/show-boot-menu' for 0s delay.
+ compress grub.elf with cbfstool and have seabios load that, or grub-mkstandalone can compress the resulting GRUB image
+ Create a text file in CBFS called "bootorder", contents "/rom@img/grub2"
+ Use cbfstool to add the GRUB ELF image as a raw file with name "img/grub2" +
