Then again, if you're going through all the trouble of replacing your out-of-the-box bios with coreboot you might as well use LinuxBoot rather than an UEFI implementation.
I sometimes wonder why coreboot hasn't been a huge success. Sure, there is little incentive for board makers to support replacing their firmware with another one, volunteer support will always be late, people are apprehensive about bricking their systems etc., so in this space I wouldn't expect much. But why are MB makers happy to fork over a chunk of their razor-thin margins to AMI/Award/whoever rather than just slapping coreboot on their boards?
