mistakes made during osbwww->lbmk merge have been corrected mostly a few search/replace errors, and deleted pages that have since been restored, or pages that were incorrectly scrubbed are now full; for example, pages that said there are no releases yet (from osboot) have been replaced with the version from libreboot that links to release archives, which *do* exist in libreboot i generally fixed all other minor issues with paragraphs that i found, where the paragraphs made sense in osboot.org but did not so on libreboot.org this is all of my fixes, after auditing the recent merge. no point splitting them up. just patch it up and go!

% Libreboot 20140309 release % Leah Rowe % 9 March 2014
Revision notes (9th March 2014):
- recreated coreboot config from scratch
- GRUB loads even faster now (less than 2 seconds).
- Total boot time reduced by further ~5 seconds.
- Added crypto and cryptodisk modules to GRUB
- cbfstool now included in the binary archives
Development notes
- Binary archive now have 2 images:
- With serial output enabled and memtest86+ included (debug level 8 in coreboot)
- With serial output disabled and memtest86+ excluded (faster boot speeds) (debugging disabled)
- Reduced impact on battery life:
- 'processor.max_cstate=2' instead of 'idle=halt' for booting default kernel
- coreboot.rom (faster boot speeds, debugging disabled):
- Disabled coreboot serial output (Console-> in "make menuconfig")
- Set coreboot debug level to 0 instead of 8 (Console-> in "make menuconfig")
- Changed GRUB timeout to 1 second instead of 2 (in grub.cfg
- Removed background image in GRUB.
- Removed memtest86+ payload (since it relies on serial output)
- coreboot_serial.rom (slower boot speeds, debugging enabled):
- Boot time still reduced, but only by ~2 seconds
- has the memtest86+ payload included in the ROM
- has serial port enabled. How this is achieved (from X60_source): Turn on debugging level to 8, and enable serial output
- (in Console-> in coreboot "make menuconfig")
- (and build with grub_serial.cfg and grub_memdisk_serial.cfg)
