Re: [Libreboot] OpenBSD with libreboot on the X200

[Oriol Demaria]

So good news and bad news.

Good news is that I have been able to boot OpenBSD, bad ones is that I 
risked to flash a rom of a donor, so now I have a propietary BIOS again. 
The docking station didn't had a serial port, so I couldn't debug the 
booting of OpenBSD. After one month more or less and out of desperation, 
I saw no other choice, even with the risk to brick it. All to get the 
precious propietary blob of the VGA BIOS, till the booting problem is 
sorted out. I had to remove the Wifi card, but I will deal with this 
problem later, it's a problem with the whitelist.

Following this documentation I have been able to capture the VGA rom 
from the Linux kernel:

http://www.coreboot.org/VGA_support#How_to_retrieve_a_good_video_bios

So the question is... Can I go back to and flash again libreboot with 
the Lenovo BIOS there now that I have the VGA propietary blob? It would 
be a pitty that after getting the libreboot laptop I wouldn't be able to 
use it with libreboot.
