You don't normally include the VGA ROM since there is a framebuffer 
driver.  I think Artec dbe61 has some code that does it it you want to 
put that in your platform. It is not part of the normal db800 setup. If 
VSA doesn't work no Geode LX or 5536 PCI devices will work. That is why 
Graphics init fails. VSA has to be on the end. So, "cat vsa vga coreboot 
 > romfile".
