Kevin if you're still around, any idea what the size of Coreboot and 
SeaBIOS is, added together? Compressing your supplied Coreboot image 
which demonstrates FreeDOS bootdisk image was 512KB, and compressed 
about 160KB or so (where kernel and command.com are around 100KB 
together, already UPX-compressed so not compressible by LZMA), which 
would mean Coreboot/SeaBIOS together is about 60KB. On a 256KB (2MBit) 
flash part this would leave around 190KB (256-60) for a compressed 
floppy image with FreeDOS programs on it.
