LinuxBIOS (initialises hardware) -> payload (etherboot,OpenBIOS, FILO 
etc.) (-> operating system)?

Ok, but that was just an example. Technical jargon explanation is still 
needed to get into linuxbios. For instance:
http://www.clustermatic.org/pipermail/linuxbios/2003-March/002240.html

This mail mentions SPD,VID,DID,I2C etc. Does everybody know what these 
mean? To get more people interested in linuxbios one has to lower the 
bars, and technical jargon is a major blocker (at least for me). And yes, 
I do know what i2c is, and I think I know what spd is (ram speed?) but vid 
& did does not ring a bell. For anyone not knowing what i2c is I'll 
recommend:
