We continue to chip away at the problem.

I gather that there isn’t a supported coreboot board that hasn’t been discontinued, costs less than $100, supports 16GB of RAM, and doesn’t have a NVidia or ATI chipset.

So a wholly Free Software Foundation PC or tablet isn’t possible.

SeaBIOS is the most flexible and has the most support for arbitrary OS images.

I’d be thrilled to see a TinyCoreLinux or MicroCoreLinux implementation integrated onto PC motherboard BIOSes as an option.
