While in the preparation for GSoC 2009 I got to put together an stub option rom written by Darmawan Mappatutu Salihun and the Grub Invaders game. Grub Invaders is very self contained and can be used as a payload for any bios, boot loader or even an option rom.
It`s all free software, you can take a look at it, download it from here. Have a nice hacking
