Well Linux BIOS seems like the obvious choice, obviously it would have to be modified to work with the new Open OEM motherboard.

There is always OpenBIOS but that requires a loader of some sort- usually LinuxBIOS. OpenBIOS uses the Open Firmware spec, but that is no longer used outside of SUN computers AFAIK. LinuxBIOS is quite portable IIRC, and is probably more suited to our uses.

I believe that as a fancy new design, legacy code and ideas should be tossed out when appropriate. Acquiring an old BIOS may work except that most older BIOSes, to the best of my knowledge, are written in assembly/machine code with little to no high-level coding.
Something like Linuxbios might work well. I'll look around for other alternatives as well... |

TinyBIOS is more aimed at the embedded market. OpenBIOS relies on U-Boot or LinuxBIOS or similair.
