I have no idea. I'm not too familiar with coreboot.


it's a good question.. is there a list of free boot firmware?


I don't know.

I think we could change it in this way:

can free operating systems be installed?

yes
no (please specify in the description entry)
not-specified

or better:

yes
no, restricted boot issue
no, other reason (specify inside the description entry)
not-specified


I agree. That sounds nice. Especially the last one. How about you Micha??

I believe the other questions give enough information.

Indeed I think we shouldn't add too many entries related to the same problem. Perhaps the 
new version of the entry "can free operating systems be installed?" can also 
include the Restricted Boot issue

Ok. I think I mixed up UEFI and Restricted boot. The clearer the better.

If someone add the "boot firmware section" inside this wiki page:
http://www.h-node.org/wiki/page/en/discover-your-hardware
then I can add a link to that page

I think Micha? knows much more about boot firmware than me. So, would you like to write that entry Micha??
