hi,all.
     My mb is EPIA M800, and I got some 1Mb flash chips. 
I can compile LinuxBIOS+VGABIOS+FILO, got a 256kbytes rom.
but when I change config file , to make it fit in 1Mb flash,
I got a 196kbytes rom.
     I think the size of linuxbios, filo, and vgabios(which is 48kbyte)
can fit into 128kbyte flash rom. so how can I make it?

here is my wrong config:

=========================================================
#
# LinuxBIOS config file for: VIA epia mini-itx
#

target build

# via epia
mainboard via/epia

# Enable Serial Console for debugging
option SERIAL_CONSOLE=1
option TTYS0_BAUD=115200
option DEFAULT_CONSOLE_LOGLEVEL=9
option DEBUG=1

# Use 256KB Standard Flash as Normal BIOS 
option RAMTEST=1
option USE_GENERIC_ROM=1
option STD_FLASH=1
#option ZKERNEL_START=0xfffc0000
option ROM_SIZE=131072

# payload size = 192KB
option PAYLOAD_SIZE=98304

# use ELF Loader to load Etherboot
option USE_ELF_BOOT=1

option VGABIOS_START=0xfffc0000
option ZKERNEL_START=0xfffcc000

option HAVE_FRAMEBUFFER=1
option SMA_SIZE=8
option CONFIG_VGABIOS=1
option CONFIG_REALMODE_IDT=1
option CONFIG_PCIBIOS=1
dir src/bioscall

# Use FILO,VGABIOS as payload
payload ../payload.bin
addaction romimage /bin/cp -f romimage $(HOME)/linuxbios_epia.bin
========================================================


Best Reguards.

Ben.
