This is also tested on Intel Crown Bay board with a PCIe graphics card, booting
SeaBIOS then chain-loading a GRUB on a USB drive, then Linux kernel finally.
If you are using Intel Integrated Graphics Device (IGD) as the primary display
device on your board, SeaBIOS needs to be patched manually to get its VGA ROM
loaded and run by SeaBIOS. SeaBIOS locates VGA ROM via the PCI expansion ROM
register, but IGD device does not have its VGA ROM mapped by this register.
Its VGA ROM is packaged as part of u-boot.rom at a configurable flash address
which is unknown to SeaBIOS. An example patch is needed for SeaBIOS below:
diff --git a/src/optionroms.c b/src/optionroms.c
index 65f7fe0..c7b6f5e 100644
--- a/src/optionroms.c
+++ b/src/optionroms.c

+ if (pci->bdf == pci_to_bdf(0, 2, 0))

if (! rom)
// No ROM present.
return;
Note: the patch above expects IGD device is at PCI b.d.f 0.2.0 and its VGA ROM
is at 0xfff90000 which corresponds to CONFIG_VGA_BIOS_ADDR on Minnowboard MAX.
Change these two accordingly if this is not the case on your board.
