A bit, long time time ago. I *think* wwoods and I discussed this at a
fudcon at one point but there were reasons not to do it. But since I can
no longer remember them I'll take a look again :)
But if Anaconda is going to drop BIOS installation support at some point
in the near future there really is no point in making the effort.
It would be useful if we do indeed get a x86 BIOS SIG as Hans de Goede
proposed. I think Fedora Server and Fedora Cloud would be interested
in such a thing, given all the caveats right now with dropping BIOS
support for server-class hardware.
