I can believe it. My task right now is to determine if LinuxBIOS is feasible, and if so, at what size. We have some flexibility in that we design our own boards, so if we can justify a large PROM, we could get it in. Better if we can fit it in a 1MB prom, however.

I can believe that reflects anything but the poor quality of the IB stack and IB drivers.
Rom how big are the drivers you are using. And how big is that with compression?
