  Description     : Legacy BIOS implementation

 SeaBIOS is a legacy BIOS implementation, aimed at supporting not only
 emulated hosts such as QEMU, but also real hardware.
 .
 Note, however, that SeaBIOS does not handle early initialization of core
 chipsets, so don't even think of flashing it to your board (look at
 Coreboot for that).
 .
 This package provides a build of SeaBIOS that can be loaded from GRUB 2.
 It's primarily targetted at systems that run non-BIOS flavours of GRUB
 (such as grub-coreboot, grub-efi or grub-ieee1275), to give them the
 capability of booting BIOS-based operating systems.
