Hi,

It turns out that what I thought was a C720 here is a C710. So I'm in
your boat. The default firmware doesn't include SeaBIOS, so it'd be
nice to get some actual directions on how to update things to support
that.

So if you're able to help me get directions for updating the firmware
on this thing to include SeaBIOS, I'll go through and figure out the
rest of the stuff based on what work has already been done for the
C720.

Thanks,
