Description-en: Legacy BIOS implementation
SeaBIOS is a legacy BIOS implementation, aimed at supporting not only
emulated hosts such as QEMU, but also real hardware.
.
Note, however, that SeaBIOS does not handle early initialization of core
chipsets, so don't even think of flashing it to your board (look at
Coreboot for that).
