[LinuxBIOS] Epia ML 5000 progress (sort of)

I finally got myself a serial cable, but there's a BIG gotcha. My whole
plan was to have a data logging device that boots very quickly. Hence,
my use of LinuxBIOS. Here's the gotcha: There's an EIGHT SECOND delay
from power on (or reset switch) until the time LinuxBIOS sends anything
to the serial port. Anyone have any ideas about this one? FWIW, the
stock BIOS shows a logo within 3 seconds of power on.
Here's the relevant section of the LinuxBIOS output regarding VGA, which
is what I wanted to get working. I'm thinking "Oops, Exception 6" might
be a problem, as well as the "Bailing out" message.
I'm pretty sure my VGA Bios is okay: 1) The image file begins with AA55
(or 55AA, whatever it is) 2) X.org starts okay, which uses the BIOS,
AFAIK; when I had a BAD Bios, X wouldn't start. 3) LinuxBIOS actually
finds the AA55 sig, or else it wouldn't print what you see below.
Anyone have any thoughts on the VGA?
Thanks
