So, for example, on K7SEM, I have a 256Kb of Flash Rom, what will be scene of splited LinuxBios ? I guess will be:
 
linuxbios.strip (Flash Rom)
linuxbios.bin.gz (ATA HDD)
 
and at Flash Rom will be just used aprox 60 Kb for .strip.
 
I am abit of confused, please help, thanks!

It can be done. With correct configure, the current LinuxBIOS code
