No. coreboot itself doesn't really do operating system bootstrapping.

As Joseph pointed out you could look at SeaBIOS, which has quickly
become a very complete BIOS implementation. SeaBIOS runs well as a
coreboot payload, and if you combine coreboot and SeaBIOS you will
indeed have a legacy compatible open source firmware.
