- The boards for <i>boardname</i> in the examples above can be found by the names of the directories
- in <b>./bin/</b> or <b>./resources/libreboot/config/</b>.
+ The ROM images in each archive use the following naming convention: <b>boardname_keymap_mode.rom</b>
</p>

<p>
- _txtmode images come with MemTest86+.
- _vesafb images are recommended in most cases.
+ Available <i>modes</i>: <b>vesafb</b> or <b>txtmode</b>. The <i>vesafb</i> ROM images are recommended, in most cases;
+ <i>txtmode</i> ROM images come with MemTest86+, which requires text-mode instead of the usual framebuffer used
+ by coreboot native graphics initialization.

- This will give you your native keyboard layout inside GRUB. The preferences in your OS are not affected, it just makes using
- the GRUB command line easier (if you ever need to do that).
- <a href="../grub/index.html#grub_keyboard">../grub/index.html#grub_keyboard</a> shows you how this was done. If your native keyboard layout
- differs, you can adapt those notes and hack the 'build' script for your needs.
+ Keymaps are named appropriate according to each keyboard layout
+ support in GRUB. To learn how these keymaps are created, see
+ <a href="../grub/index.html#grub_keyboard">../grub/index.html#grub_keyboard</a>

+ <p>
+ Coreboot supports <a href="http://www.coreboot.org/QEMU">QEMU</a>. QEMU is useful for testing purposes. Libreboot
+ comes with ROM images built for QEMU, by default.
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ The following ROM image archives are available in libreboot:
+ </p>
+ <ul>
+ <li>libreboot_qemu_q35_ich9.tar.xz</li>
+ <li>libreboot_qemu_i440fx_piix4.tar.xz</li>
+ </ul>
+ <p>
+ Examples of how to use libreboot in QEMU:
+ </p>
+ <ul>
+ <li>$ <b>qemu-system-i386 -M q35 -m 512 -bios qemu_q35_ich9_keymap_mode.rom</b></li>
+ <li>$ <b>qemu-system-i386 -M pc -m 512 -bios qemu_i440fx_piix4_keymap_mode.rom</b></li>
+ </ul>
+ <p>
+ You can optionally specify the <b>-serial stdio</b> argument, so that QEMU will emulate
+ a serial terminal on the standard input/output (most likely your terminal emulator or TTY).
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ Other arguments are available for QEMU. The manual will contain more information.
