[LinuxBIOS] What would happen if I installed Linux BIOS on my machine?

[Jonathan]

Hello, my current BIOS is extremely buggy and unstable, regularly
freezing at the POST screen, so what would happen if I installed Linux
BIOS on my machine? I know the motherboard isn't on the list, but it
seems to be close to some of the other ones.

System information:
CPU: Intel Celeron 2.6 ghz socket 478
Motherboard: MSI pm8m-v (ms7014 v2)
Chipset: VIA P4M800 + VT8237R
Graphics: Nvidia 6200 AGP card

Bios chip type: PLCC
Super I/O: Don't know, but presumably it is a VIA one

So, will Linux BIOS work? Or what would happen if I installed Linux
BIOS? Would I be able to backup with awdflh.exe from a floppy if Linux
BIOS didn't work? And how far into the Linux BIOS installation can I get
without permanently altering the system?

Thanks
