This is one of the first videographed use cases for coreboot. The initramfs in the video[1] admittedly does not have a browser. Those days, boot flash were up to 2 Mbyte. Today they are up to 16 Mbyte, so a browser can certainly be added. http://www.coreboot.org/Screenshots#LinuxBIOS_with_X_Server_Inside //Peter [1] http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nuzRsXKm_NQ [1] http://downloads.sourceforge.net/fornix/linuxbios.ogg
