I picked up an EPIA-MII board a while ago and some 4Mbit flash today.
I put together a linuxbios.rom in a few hours, then booted LB after one hotswap flash.
It is simply amazing. Thank you, everyone who have, and continue to, put effort into LinuxBIOS, FILO and Etherboot!
I'll try to get the board into my car before the symposium.

Very glad you like it. :-) If you are looking for CF support for FILO 0.5, check out the latest revision and enable the line #PCMCIA_CF = 1.

Right, this is as stated in the EPIA-M-howto. I applied the patch per the howto for the second flash and it probably works, but I fried my CF and haven't picked up a new one yet. (The MII CF socket requires some force to insert the CF, and required less force to insert the CF upside down.)
How about those IO ports though? Apparently they're offset some ports from normal ide4 and hence Linux needs to be told ide4=noprobe to not hang, according to same howto. If still true, it's not very neat - can I do something to improve it?
