I think the other machine needs to run IPMI tools, but that shouldn't be a problem - Linux laptop connects to Linux desktop to access the BIOS would be a typical scenario. Of course, this is all designed for remote administration of servers. >Additionally, I have been looking with a great deal of interest at the >Coreboot project.

As I understand it, Coreboot replaces the BIOS altogether, so there is no BIOS anymore on a machine with Coreboot in the flash. Of course, it should be possible to configure Coreboot itself, but you'll have to look up the details.
