I believe there's commandline option for awdflash to skip checking on bios file. I cannot verify it at this moment, but try awdflash.exe /?
Good Luck!

did that. My vga rom is f1ff.
I suggest to use awardeco or amideco tool to extract the vga bios from original bios. The RAM memory dump didn't work for me on epia.
the perl script worked for me.
After padding vgabios with zeros to 65536 bytes and setting the ROM_SIZE etc to 65536, everything compiles. I have a coreboot.rom with vga of 262144 bytes.
However testing is pending as the award util does not flash the file as it does some check on the bios file and fails with "not a valid bios file". So now I have to sort out why flashrom fails to write correctly. :-(
To recap: flashrom identifies, reads and erases the flash correctly. It also writes but the writes are garbage. I have two boards and the behaviour is the same.
