It fits well under the 256kB of flash. And yes, I should think its about time they got worried. What's not to be worried about? Getting Bochs BIOS to run should be pretty trivial on just about every board LinuxBIOS supports.
Contributions are welcome. It's by no means a completed product. And we'd like to keep Boch's BIOS as generic as possible so it can stay in their sources. My view is we have two very good projects that are beautifully complimentary. The improvement of each individually need not stop now.

What size does all this take up in flash?
LinuxBIOS + BOCHS BIOS + Video BIOS =?
BOCHS BIOS standard size is 64kb. If you gzip it it goes down to 20kb.
We are currently using binary only video bios. The video bios as it is with SIS630 is 48kb. For paranoia sake we are using full 64kb. gzipped 64kb bios is at 34kb.
Will this help you get down size of your project?
I just wanted to be sure it would all fit into <4Mb of flash. We design several x86 boards a year and most need to boot Win32.
Should Phoenix, AMI and General be worried?
