-/* This file assembles the bootblock program by the order of the includes. Thus,

+ * This is the original bootblock used by coreboot on x86 systems. It contains
+ * a monolithic code flow, assembled from the following stages:
+ * - reset16.inc: the reset vector
+ * - entry16.inc: protected mode setup
+ * - entry32.inc: segment descriptor setup
+ * - CONFIG_CHIPSET_BOOTBLOCK_INCLUDE: chipset-specific initialization
+ * - generated/bootblock.inc: ROMCC part of the bootblock
+ *
+ * This is used on platforms which do not select C_ENVIRONMENT_BOOTBLOCK, and it
+ * tries to do the absolute minimum before walking CBFS and jumping to romstage.
+ *
+ * This file assembles the bootblock program by the order of the includes. Thus,
* it's extremely important that one pays very careful attention to the order
