Okay, I tried awardeco, and it DOES NOT list the VGA ROM, but CBROM (under the "dosbox" emulator) worked well.
Only one thing -- the extracted VGA ROM is _exactly_ 64000 bytes (instead of 65536) -- do I need to pad it out (with zeros?) before concatenating it with LinuxBIOS to achieve the final burnable image?
