Flash is soldered, however I'm prepared to desolder it and install a
socket. I also can copy original BIOS to other chip to have a spare.
Fortunately I have required equipment here :-).

I also have spare host to create serial console.
However I really would like to talk to with a person who already tried
this on Dell servers. I don't feel good enough in linux/C/PCs to be
the first one who will install coreboot on a rack server. I did not
think about coreboot before, but some time ago I saw a WIP for dell
1850, and this triggerd me to post to the list.
