Sure, working code is always better than non-working code :-)
You can explicitely copy an optionrom to RAM using 
cbfs_load_optionrom(vendor, device, destination address);
Choose some unused vid/did pair (vendor 0xffff should be a safe choice), 
add the files using the pci_rom statement in Config.lb, and use that 
function to load the images to where you want them.

If you need the ROM address of a cbfs file, cbfs_find(filename) is 
useful, but you'll have to skip over the file's header. Something like:
cbfs_file *f = cbfs_find(filename);
uchar *romaddr = (char*)f+(f->offset);
should do the trick.


Hope this helps,
Patrick
