About:
Coreboot (formerly known as LinuxBIOS) is a project that aims to replace the normal BIOS with a little bit of hardware initialization and a payload. Payloads can include a compressed Linux kernel, FILO, GRUB2, OpenBIOS, Open Firmware, SmartFirmware, GNUFI (UEFI), Etherboot, ADLO (for booting Windows and OpenBSD), Plan 9, or memtest86.

Release focus: Minor feature enhancements

Changes:
Initial support was provided for some basic CMOS read/write functions and bcd2dec()/dec2bcd() functions. The display of debug data was made more consistent. Buggy optimizations were removed and minor bugs were fixed.

See what you've done? "coreboot" sounds like something one does with a coredump. (Seriously, you're right, the name was getting inaccurate.)
