I forgot. I actually saw that board when we visited you at ALS. But it's
still a generic sis630 board, if memory serves.

It needs to be 512k - 64k (for linuxbios). That is actually pretty easy.
Remember, it's the stripped size. For example, the VIA kernel is:
-rwx------ 1 rminnich CIC-ACL 346844 Feb 16 07:48
/users/rminnich/src/bios/freebios/romimages/RON_VIA_SPD/vmlinux.bin.gz
This plus linuxbios fits easily in 512k flash, and it comes up multiuser,
mounting root on hda1.
You can do this too with sis, it will take a little work. 256k is totally
impossible. Possibly one of the non-bios-using loaders would work, though.
