Not quite sure what you mean? If your not going to use VGA you should  
comment the rom stuff right? I tried something like:

if CONFIG_VIDEO_MB
    chip drivers/pci/onboard		# Onboard VGA
       device pci 2.0 on end		# VGA (Intel 82830 CGC)
          register "rom_address" = "0xfff00000"
    end
else
    device pci 2.0 on end		# VGA (Intel 82830 CGC)
end

But I kept getting build errors. Is it ok to leave the rom stuff with no VGA?

Thanks - Joe
