I just found something interesting. I was playing around with VIA's fastboot debug USB-boot BIOS image for the Epia MII and came across a linuxbios message at the very end after the bootloader complained about not finding a suitable USB boot device. There is no such message in the IDE or CD-ROM images. The fastboot MII images are very fast but they don't work for the non-MII epia and I find it funny that VIA didn't include a way to use hooks like they did for the pre-MII fastboot. I say this because I've been struggling with CLE266 video and linuxbios while VIA releases binary-only images with a linuxbios message that don't work on the epia M.
