 This is also tested on Intel Crown Bay board with a PCIe graphics card, booting
 SeaBIOS then chain-loading a GRUB on a USB drive, then Linux kernel finally.
 
+If you are using Intel Integrated Graphics Device (IGD) as the primary display
+device on your board, SeaBIOS needs to be patched manually to get its VGA ROM
+loaded and run by SeaBIOS. SeaBIOS locates VGA ROM via the PCI expansion ROM
+register, but IGD device does not have its VGA ROM mapped by this register.
+Its VGA ROM is packaged as part of u-boot.rom at a configurable flash address
+which is unknown to SeaBIOS. An example patch is needed for SeaBIOS below:

+Note: the patch above expects IGD device is at PCI b.d.f 0.2.0 and its VGA ROM
+is at 0xfff90000 which corresponds to CONFIG_VGA_BIOS_ADDR on Minnowboard MAX.
+Change these two accordingly if this is not the case on your board.
