I tried to use flashrom from LB/util/flashrom
this what I have got
first run to test
# ./flashrom
Calibrating delay loop... ok
No LinuxBIOS table found
Found chipset "VT8235": Enabling flash write... Ok
Found board "VIA EPIA M/MII/... " Enabling flash write... Ok
SST39SF020A found at physical address: 0xfffc0000
Flash part is SST39SF020A (256Kb)
Ok, onla ENABLING flash write, but NOT flashing.
#
That"s seems to be ok, board and flash part indeed matches to the 
hardware ))) Now I ma trying to flash

#./flashrom -w linuxbios.rom
Calibrating delay loop... ok
No LinuxBIOS table found
Found chipset "VT8235": Enabling flash write... Ok
Found board "VIA EPIA M/MII/... " Enabling flash write... Ok
SST39SF020A found at physical address: 0xfffc0000
Flash part is SST39SF020A (256Kb)
linuxbios.rom: Bad address
#

so, I tried to save image from flash, and tried to flash whith saved 
image and got the same Bad address.

Could somebody tell what the trouble is?
