[SeaBIOS] Dealing with fallback and normal coreboot images

Dear SeaBIOS folks,
coreboot allows to prefix images to add different romstage, ramstage,
and payloads, and depending on the behavior during boot, choose a
certain one.
Commonly *normal* and *fallback* are used as prefixes, while the
bootblock code loads the *normal* image first, but if there is a
failure, commonly after three tries, boots the fallback image.
SeaBIOS takes runtime configuration values always from `etc/`. That way,
only one configuration can be used for different coreboot builds.
What could be a solution for that problem? Also allow `fallback/etc/`,
and `normal/etc`?
Kind regards,
Paul
