If you have a flash chip big enough fro a kernel I don't think it'll fit into the normal 32 pin socket used by 2 mbit BIOS chips.
A 29F040b is a 4 m-bit (512k) part and is a std jdec 32 pin pacakge. I have managed to get a bios (commercial) + kernel in that. No root disk though. Had to use a 2nd chip for that. (It was a custom board)
How did you get a kernel into <512kbytes? What version did you start from?
2.4.2. You just have to turn off everything but the essentials. Works out to 480k or so.
