LinuxBIOS is actually very small (64KB), it will fit easily on a 256KB flash part. However, you must be careful about the size of your part. If you have a 256KB flash part, then you need to adjust the ROM_SIZE in your Config.lb file accordingly: option ROM_SIZE=256*1024 If you're on a 512KB flash part, then it should be this: option ROM_SIZE=512*1024
Also, on a 512KB flash part, you can concatinate a 256KB linuxbios.rom twice into another file and burn that instead, so long as the file size is 512KB.

Sounds great, thanks for the help. I have one other question though, LinuxBIOS will fit on a 4Mbit flash chip if my root filesystem in on a hard drive, correct? Also, the specs for the VIA EPIA MII say the BIOS is 2/4Mbit, does this mean I can use either size or does it mean that it only works with one of these sizes?
