I was wondering how difficult/useful it would be to
have a very small bios that boots enough to get on the
network and then loads the working bios from there. I
keep making little changes (printing stuff out) and it
is a pain to keep burning Roms. This would also let
you have as big a bios as you want. In a cluster you
could make a bios change just by updating one file.

Depending on what package the flash is in he may or may not be able to
use one.  If you can then yes a ROM emulator is a godsend.  TSOP's
make it much harder.
