I have successfully managed to boot an EPIA-800 board to a usable state using Steve Gehlback's VGA configuration, Etherboot, and a vanilla FreeBIOS tree. VGA comes up reliably every time I boot. However VGA output only appears until Etherboot jumps to my phase 1 beoboot image.
What must be done to have VGA output after Etherboot loads my image?

It's working for me, VGA is up all the way LinuxBIOS + SG patch --> FILO --> Linux.
However, framebuffer (epiafb) doesn't work well, and TV-out doesn't work either even if it is re-programmed by tvtool or tvout.
