Great, big thanks for reminding me about that. I will statically compile it and add it to the initrd _and_ will call it from 'init'/'linuxrc' script. I have also ordered 2 extra BIOS chips and as soon as they arrive, I will try to make it work :-). Thanks also for the tip with gluing the handles to the chips, I'll give it a go! :D
