Thanks for the report! Can you check manually that bios.bin really
seems to have the correct contents? Thanks!

I can access this machine only via ssh. However, I did some checking -
the BIOS image seems like lha archive (some kind of self-extracting
exe). I extracted it with lha - it contains some binary blob
(probably, actual BIOS code).

I think, I can bet that flashrom successfully reads this particular chip :)
