As mentioned in the tutorial, if you increase ROM_SIZE to generate an
image larger than 2 MB, you also need to patch qemu to accept a larger
BIOS ROM.

Look at my original patch
(http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/qemu-devel/2006-09/msg00155.html)
for an example; just change the instances of 2048*1024 to a larger
number to increase the BIOS size.
