Why not get some vendor to modify a bios to remove all the wierd quirks
imposed by the PC platform?

Isnt there a freebie - MR. BIOS, or something like that?

Some obvious modifications would be:

  - Use the serial port as console

  - Make the lack of keyboard and video a non-error

We'd have to specify a reference platform for the BIOS, why not the ASIUS
boards that everyone seems to like so much...
