after a friend of mine (wolfgang illmeyer) implemented the code to write to 
the spi chip, i can finally give you the following output:

i didn't try to boot the linuxbios until now, and the code is quite ugly and 
not cleaned up these times.

i'll try to get the code cleaned up in the next few days, and poste the code 
to the list.
but now, i try to boot the linuxbios.

regards, harald
