[U-Boot] Booting X86 using uboot
Hello,
Is it possible to boot an X86 machine (with ATOM or Core2Duo) using uboot ?
If yes, how uboot is loaded to the master boot record of the disk from which the machine is booted ?
What file in include/configs fits to x86 board ?
Thanks.

U-Boot has not been ported to Atom ore Core2Duo yet.

You misunderstand the role of U-Boot. U-Boot does not get installed in the MBR of any boot media, it would replace the BIOS on your mainboard.
In general, for x86 you probably want to have a look at coreboot instead.
