Tried to run Ebin-DOS as a floppy inside the coreboot+SeaBIOS opensource BIOS, and all I got is a lousy "Something happened" message (two times :P) #1

" Here is a coreboot image for QEMU with these two patches applied and my collection of wonderful and useful floppies added to popular the entries list: https://github.com/mikebdp2/floparchive/blob/master/coreboot.rom?raw=true
Descriptions of the most prominent floppies could be found here: http://dangerousprototypes.com/docs/Lenovo_G505S_hacking#Useful_floppies
Run this coreboot.rom by executing this QEMU command: (some floppies are 64-bit)
qemu-system-x86_64 -L . -m 768 -localtime -vga vmware -net nic,model=rtl8139 -net user -soundhw ac97 -bios ./coreboot.rom -boot menu=on -serial stdio

^^^ quoted from a page https://mail.coreboot.org/hyperkitty/list/seabios@seabios.org/thread/CKWLNTZU43SAHQ26USNFASORA2H5BXBE/

@x-t , So I tried adding your ebin.img to this coreboot.rom image above:
~/coreboot/build/cbfstool ~/Downloads/coreboot.rom add -f ~/Downloads/ebin.img -n floppyimg/ebin.lzma -t raw -c lzma
It got added successfully and is displayed at SeaBIOS boot menu when I'm executing the QEMU command above, however it gives a "Something happened" message two times and a blinking "_". Then I read a message at your README and hope you could complete the implementation of CHS 😜

By the way, here's how I see your ebin.img in a memory map of coreboot.rom image:

~/coreboot/build/cbfstool ~/Downloads/coreboot.rom print
...
...
floppyimg/ebin.lzma    0x791740    raw        665 LZMA (1474560 decompressed)

Occupies just 665 bytes with LZMA compression 😆
