OpenBIOS: http://www.freiburg.linux.de/openbios/ Status: machine init, no BIOS interrupt support
LinusBIOS: http://www.acl.lanl.gov/linuxbios/ Status: loads Linux on L440GX, not sufficient as a standalone BIOS
And source code for Via's Award BIOS, albeit with "trade secret" stamped all over it, is still sitting in a public area on their FTP site: ftp://ftp.via.com.tw/public/sw/
