One big issue that I see here is that I am not sure if there is a BIOS image that has a Open license which is also 100% PC compatible.
Haven't been paying attention so this might be completely irrelevant, but:

Sounds pretty cool if you're OK with the risk involved in flashing (/trashing) your BIOS.
