Build tutorial

$ svn co svn://coreboot.org/repos/trunk/coreboot-v2
$ cd coreboot-v2/targets
$ ./buildtarget kontron/986lcd-m
$ cd kontron/986lcd-m/kontron_986lcd_m

Now copy your payload into the current directory and name it payload.elf. Then:

$ make -s

The resulting coreboot.rom is your coreboot ROM image you can flash using flashrom.

FILO

If you use FILO, SATA will probably be hda and hdb, while hdc is the master drive of the IDE controller.
