+Building and Installing
+-----------------------
+
+Note: Currently only the x86 QEMU target is supported in LinuxBIOSv3.
+
+1) Build a payload:
+
+ For example: FILO.
+
+2) Configure LinuxBIOS:
+
+ $ make menuconfig
+
+ Select at least the desired mainboard vendor, the mainboard device,
+ the size of your ROM chip, and a payload.
+
+3) Build the LinuxBIOS ROM image:
+
+ $ make
+
+ The generated ROM image is build/linuxbios.rom.
+
+4) You can now test the LinuxBIOS image using:
+
+ $ qemu -L build -hda /dev/zero -serial stdio
+
+ If you have a full QEMU image with a Linux distribution installed,
+ you can boot that Linux kernel by using a proper FILO payload and typing:
+
+ $ qemu -L build -hda /tmp/qemu.img -serial stdio
+
+
