Building coreboot
First, copy your desired payload to /tmp/filo.elf, then extract the VGA BIOS from the original vendor BIOS and copy it to /tmp/i810.vga:
$ wget http://download1.msi.com/files/downloads/bos_exe/6178v21.zip $ unzip 6178v21.zip $ cd 6178v21 $ bios_extract W6178IMS.210 $ cp i810.vga /tmp
See the Build HOWTO for information on how to build coreboot for this board.
