Sorry, I didn't mean to derail the thread.
I'm beginning to suspect that the issue with the laptop I have isn't a bad BIOS, but perhaps related to the fact that it has a Q15M (engineering sample) CPU in it. Maybe the original BIOS didn't mind, but production BIOS doesn't work with this chip?
I may see about getting a different G2 CPU to swap out and see if this is the problem.
I did try flashing the provided 8MB image, but the behavior is still the same. The laptop doesn't stay powered on long enough to do anything at all.
