Yup.  Figured-out, the user is required to press "F12" else Seabios will try to
load a floppy image as defined in milliseconds within config.h.

If Seabios doesn't find a floppy image or boot image, it will then reload
coreboot/reboot as defined in milliseconds within config.h.  (This I find nuts,
Seabios infinitely reloading coreboot over & over again.  Is this correct?
Great stress testing though as I can see additional reloads fail sometime over
time due to raminit issues.)

I prefer Seabios to sit and wait forever (an unlimited amount of time).

Also, if I do get things going correctly, would prefer Seabios just go ahead
and boot the bootable drive partition (or main boot record... with grub/lilo
installed).  If anything, a slight pause might be essential in case a user does
have a floppy image installed or chooses network, usb, etc.

Hrmm - Seabios wont load from floppy under coreboot.  The floppy
hardware support is disabled when on coreboot.  The messages you are
seeing are harmless.

[commit] r6229 - in trunk: . src/cpu/amd/model_10xxx src/vendorcode src/vendorcode/amd src/vendorcode/amd/cimx src/vendorcode/amd/cimx/lib src/vendorcode/amd/cimx/sb800

Author: uwe
Date: Sat Jan  1 18:44:07 2011
New Revision: 6229
URL: https://tracker.coreboot.org/trac/coreboot/changeset/6229

Log:
Add AMD SB800 southbridge CIMx code.

The main CIMx code is in a src/vendorcode directory and should not be
changed with regard to coding style etc. in order to remain easily syncable
with the "upstream" AMD code.

[commit] r6233 - trunk/src/mainboard/amd/bimini_fam10

Author: uwe
Date: Sat Jan  1 19:40:02 2011
New Revision: 6233
URL: https://tracker.coreboot.org/trac/coreboot/changeset/6233

Log:
AMD Bimini: Small fixes, and updates to recent trunk conventions.

 - Move CACHE_AS_RAM_ADDRESS_DEBUG #define to Kconfig, where it was renamed
   to HAVE_DEBUG_CAR in r5898.

 - Move QRANK_DIMM_SUPPORT to Kconfig, see r6028.

 - Drop obsolete/unused COMPRESS, see r6145.

 - Drop obsolete SET_NB_CFG_54, see r6086.

 - Move SET_FIDVID/SET_FIDVID_CORE_RANGE to Kconfig, see r6077.
   Actually, the default for SET_FIDVID_CORE_RANGE is 0, so drop it.

 - Rename some GENERATE_* options to HAVE_*, see r6027.

 - Drop "select CACHE_AS_RAM", this is now set in the socket, see r6151.

 - Drop ACPI_SSDTX_NUM, the global default is 0 already.

 - Random whitespace and coding style fixes.
