I'd like to try using SeaBIOS instead of Grub2 on my Lenovo x200, to see if I might be able to boot OpenBSD on an encrypted volume that way, which would be cool. I imagine most OpenBSD laptop users make use of full disk encryption when they can, without which only odd individuals like me will go through the work to encrypt /home and the other non-root directories and update their rc scripts 'manually' each time they upgrade to the latest OpenBSD release or snapshot.
I took a stab at figuring out how to do this myself, but I haven't had much luck as yet:
./build roms withgrub x200_4mb results in: Makefile.inc:517: util/crossgcc/Makefile.inc: No such file or directory
make: *** No rule to make target 'util/crossgcc/Makefile.inc'. Stop.
tried adding a symlink for crossgcc, that got the build to start, but it keeps printing out the same warnings and over, I let it ran for 15m and then killed it, assuming it was stuck
I tried following the directions for cloning from git and building from there, same issue with the missing crossgcc and the infinite build loop if I link to crossgcc that's in the repo root
So, I cannot get the build working without modifications, so far.
And my plan was to try and run ./build roms withseabios x200_4mb after adding some config for it like so:
go into the corresponding coreboot directory and git branch seabios_x200_4mb grub_x200_4mb and then do the same in the vboot directory
pray
if it builds, flash it onto a spare x200 I have and see if it boots
But, I'm really just taking a stab in the dark on all of this to see if I can stumble upon something that works. Someone that knows what they are doing might have better luck. ;)

I took a stab at figuring out how to do this myself, but I haven't had much luck as yet:
* downloaded libreboot_r20160907_src
* followed directions here: https://libreboot.org/docs/git/index.html including installing dependencies
* ./build roms withgrub x200_4mb results in: ````Makefile.inc:517: util/crossgcc/Makefile.inc: No such file or directory
make: *** No rule to make target 'util/crossgcc/Makefile.inc'. Stop.

the priority should be to add seabios payload option for all boards, in fact.
