I guess what I mean below is I have a tv-out encoder chip that I would like to enable at boot (at the bios level). Can anyone point me in the right direction?
You mean a Linux kernel driver?
The way to go would then be to use LinuxBIOS to boot a small Linux kernel as payload with that driver (you can put all of that in the BIOS chip if it's big enough).

Yep it is a kernel port driver. This is what I thought would need to be done. If I do it this way though I will not be able to use filo or etherboot. Is that correct?
Thanks - Joe
