I should clarify, buildrom can automatically do the LB image + VSA2 concatenate for you. Follow the instructions to do it by hand.

Hello,
I used the buildrom tool, but the norwich board uses thecompanion serial and my board uses SUPERIO WINBOND w83267hf. So, I modified the code of /mainboar/amd/norwich/cache_as_ram_auto.c to work with this chip. It worked fine, but the boot process stop with :
Before VSA: do_vsmbios
I'm not including the vsa in the linuxbios.rom, is that theproblem? And how can I concatenate the two files correctly?

Yes you need VSA2 in the ROM. You can use buildrom in advance mode to set a local linuxbios tree. Buildrom pulls the VSA binary from here: http://www.amd.com/us-en/ConnectivitySolutions/ProductInformation/0,,50_2330...
un-zip it "cat lx_vsa.36k.bin norwich.rom > lb_norwich.rom" You should end up with a 512KB ROM image.

It should handle putting the VSA image with the LB binary to make the complete image.
