Demo image
This image contains a coreboot with SeaBIOS and VGA BIOS. This ROM contains 100% free software! I did not test graphic VGA modes, textmode is known to work. Be prepared for that. Otherwise the ROM should behave at least as normal BIOS. It should be able to boot the system just as the proprietary BIOS does.
Warning: Windows won't boot with the hacked VGA image. You will need to exchange the image for original VGA ROM.
