On this page about the EPIA-M it mentions setting VGABIOS_START, so I 
tried to do that in my Config.lb, but I get this:

Will place Makefile, crt0.S, etc. in via/epia-m/epia-m
===> ERROR: Attempt to set nonexistent option VGABIOS_START (missing USES?)
via/epia-m/Config.lb:0


so I add:

uses VGABIOS_START

after the mainboard line and I get:


Trying to find one of ROMIMAGE, BUILDROM, OPTION, IF, PRINT, EOF, ELSE, 
END, PAYLOAD, ARCH, ADDACTION, CONFIG, DEFAULT, DIR, DRIVER, INIT, 
INITINCLUDE, INITOBJECT, LDSCRIPT, MAINBOARDINIT, MAKEDEFINE, MAKERULE, 
OBJECT, CHIP, REGISTER, DEVICE on line 7:
 >  uses VGABIOS_START
 >  ^
List of nearby tokens:
  (@81)  TARGET  =  'target'
  (@88)  DIRPATH  =  'epia-m'
  (@96)  MAINBOARD  =  'mainboard'
  (@106)  PATH  =  'via/epia-m'
===> ERROR: Could not parse file
via/epia-m/Config.lb:0


I run from the top of the LinuxBIOS tree:

bash-2.05$ grep -r -i "uses VGABIOS" ../*
../src/mainboard/digitallogic/msm586seg/Options.lb:#uses VGABIOS_START
../src/mainboard/technologic/ts5300/Options.lb:#uses VGABIOS_START

....so is VGABIOS_START still required?
