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.
Preliminary packages are available at:
