I don't need a framebuffer on boot, but once loaded would I be able to insmod the epiafb module and get that working?
More than likely, since a framebuffer driver made for epia vga must have intimate knowledge of the chipset, so it should completely initialize it.
Unfortunately it does not. Looks like we have to program some more VGA registers for framebuffer to function properly.
Though, I'm wondering if the modifications you've made are (specifically the epia800.config) are compatible with an elf filo payload? The add action commands seem to run after the commands that concatenate the linuxbios image file with its payload.. so I'm somewhat at a loss as to what to flash the chip with. If you know what I mean.
I have not used payloads, so I am not sure, maybe others can comment.
Steve's config uses linux loader rather than ELF loader.
