I'm confused. My Tyan s2895 has a 8Mbit LPC Flash ROM, so I thought I could not use a RD1 Bios Savior, as no 8Mbit model was available; this kept me from trying out LinuxBIOS by fear of turning my computer into an expensive paper weight. But now I see posts to this ML's archive (such as http://www.linuxbios.org/pipermail/linuxbios/2006-January/013420.html) that talk about using 4Mbit savior with the Tyan s2895.
While the original bios needs 1MB (8MBit), LinuxBIOS requires quite less than that. So as long as you put LinuxBIOS in the bios savior chip and leave the factory bios in its original chip, everything will work fine. IOSS states that they can not be used because you can not stick another 8MBit BIOS on the savior itself.
