So I'm in your boat. The default firmware doesn't include SeaBIOS, so it'd be nice to get some actual directions on how to update things to support that. So if you're able to help me get directions for updating the firmware on this thing to include SeaBIOS, I'll go through and figure out the rest of the stuff based on what work has already been done for the C720.
