I have been told that pulling the vgabios is easy with DD. Never tried this my self. Currently I have been decompressing the rom image and adding the vga bios in by hand. Do you think it would be possible to add a script into the buildtarget script, or a vgabios rip script, to rip the vgabios out of the memory? -Adam

If it is done correctly (by me), you don't need a HOWTO. It work out of the box like 'BIOS'.
Ollie, that is true for AGP cards, but for the case of "integrated" vgabios in the one flash image we'll still need the step where we pull the VGABIOS out of the factory BIOS.
