If you have an *existing* clone of lbmk, where you built it, and you want to
use it in place, you could do this:
```
cd lbmk/ # obviously, you need to be in lbmk
rm -Rf coreboot/default grub seabios payload/grub payload/seabios
cd coreboot/coreboot
git pull
cd ../../
git pull
```
Then simply build it as normal, and the new coreboot/grub/seabios will be
pulled in.
Have fun!
