First off, can't do this. You must have a fallback image, normal is 
optional.

This is exactly as it says. In src/mainboard/via/epia-m/Config.lb, there 
should be an XIP_ROM_SIZE and XIP_ROM_BASE, the base must be a multiple 
of the size. I had a bit of trouble working around this myself at one 
point, I think I determined that I just couldn't have a VGA rom and only 
the fallback boot, having both seemed to straighten things out.
