Do those steps also include running "make crossgcc" ? That's
important because many compilers are unable to build coreboot.

It is not neccessary to use flashrom to write coreboot.rom to the flash.

If you have another flash writing tool which writes the exact contents
of coreboot.rom to a flash chip then that is equally suitable.

It sounds like the problem might be that coreboot simply does not
support the hardware platform you are testing it on. As already said,
please mention which chipset and mainboard you are testing with.
