And you also use 'USE_GRUB = 0'? Otherwise FILO will try to read your
menu.lst file from GRUB and ignore the above line.

I think at the beginning (but someone please correct me if I'm wrong), i.e.

cat vga.rom coreboot.com > coreboot_full.rom

But you need to tweak the config files too in order to make the
coreboot.rom smaller (so there's place for vga.rom).
