Thank you, this is how I ended up doing it. It sounds like most modern motherboards are including an OS-independent flashing method so that's great. An XP USB key only working on one system doesn't sound as good as I thought, and it doesn't sound like there is much history of coreboot working out with people here. Maybe it just isn't necessary much any more? - Grant
