Then you probably flashed half of LinuxBIOS only.. You need to create
one that is 512k big if that is the size of your flash chip

Connect the board with a serial cable to another machine. you will see
lots of output if LinuxBIOS is there. (i think 115200 baud is the
default)
VGA is still a bit tricky in LinuxBIOS
