FreeBIOS
Project goal: be a central gathering point for BIOS firmware code that can be used to initialize and boot various services. At first, due to the large scope of the project, it will likely only boot a Linux kernel on a few chipsets. Later, it may be a full BIOS substitute for many popular motherboards.
