Looking at the wiki, CK804 refers to the nforce Pro 2200, but this just
might work anyways. I'd start by copying over the src/mainboard and
src/target directory for the tyan s2891 to new folders, since it's very
similar (just has an extra southbridge for PCI-X), remove that extra
southbridge from Options.lb, then build it, flash it and see what
happens. The usual disclaimer applies, make sure you're using an extra
bios chip and not overwriting the factory bios, since linuxbios will
overwrite everything including the factory bios' failsafe mechanism.
Read over the wiki to find out what you'll need to get output, how to
set up your payload, etc, and you probably won't have fully working vga
the first time you boot it up. Any other questions, just ask, and good luck!
