This looks like the way to go. In general a motherboard will have a standard ROM_SIZE, and it requires generating a new rev of a motherboard to change that. > that way, for all my arimas on which I am using 1 MB parts, I can set > option ROM_SIZE = 1024*1024 > in my target config file. > > If no objections, I am going to remove the default setting in Options.lb, > make the mainboard ROM_SIZE settings defaults, so I can continue to set > them in the target config files. That sounds like a good path forward. Eric _______________________________________________ Linuxbios mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.clustermatic.org/mailman/listinfo/linuxbios
