The tyan-s2891.rom file in deploy/ is the image; it expects you to prepend
the 36K vga rom to make it a full megabyte. The 36K vga rom is identical
across S2881, S2882 and S2891 (and possibly other Tyan servers; those are the
three models I have access to).

I really need to make work of that kconfig option for 'add vga bios after
compile'.
