Uwe Hermann cb00e7ab94 Some fixes for the BCOM WinNET100, mostly in Config.lb: 
- Add missing entry for the NIC:

     device pci 0f.0 on end           # Ethernet (onboard)

 - Drop the following lines:

     register "com1" = "{115200}"
     register "com2" = "{38400}"

   Those entries hardcode the BAUD rate (as far as I can tell, please
   correct me if I'm wrong). We don't want that -- instead the config option
   TTYS0_BAUD in Options.lb should be used(?) I verified that dropping those
   lines will not break serial output (COM1, 115200, 8n1).

 - Enable IDE (PCI device 00:12.2) and add the following register lines
   to tell the CS5530 code to actually enable IDE channel 0:

      register "ide0_enable" = "1"
      register "ide1_enable" = "0"     # Not available/needed on this board

   Tested with a 2.5" hard drive and FILO, works fine.

 - Enable USB (PCI device 00:13.0), not sure why it was commented.

 - Enable COM2 as it's used by the smartcard reader.

 - Add CONFIG_COMPRESSED_PAYLOAD_LZMA to Options.lb, in order to fix
   abuild for this board.

 - Add some more comments.

LinuxBIOS README
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

LinuxBIOS is a Free Software project aimed at replacing the proprietary
BIOS you can find in most of today's computers.

It performs just a little bit of hardware initialization and then executes
one of many possible payloads, e.g. a Linux kernel.


Payloads
--------

After the basic initialization of the hardware has been performed, any
desired "payload" can be started by LinuxBIOS. Examples include:

 * A Linux kernel
 * FILO (a simple bootloader with filesystem support)
 * GRUB2 (a free bootloader; support is in development)
 * OpenBIOS (a free IEEE1275-1994 Open Firmware implementation)
 * Open Firmware (a free IEEE1275-1994 Open Firmware implementation)
 * SmartFirmware (a free IEEE1275-1994 Open Firmware implementation)
 * GNUFI (a free, UEFI-compatible firmware)
 * Etherboot (for network booting and booting from raw IDE or FILO)
 * ADLO (for booting Windows 2000 or OpenBSD)
 * Plan 9 (a distributed operating system)
 * memtest86 (for testing your RAM)


Supported Hardware
------------------

LinuxBIOS supports a wide range of chipsets, devices, and mainboards.

guidelines and more can be found on the LinuxBIOS website:
