Maybe we can change that. Also, flashrom has recently gotten support
for reading out flash chip contents also on unsupported hardware, but
you need to know how large your flash chip is, and how it is
connected to the system.

What components are in your system?
AMD64 CPU, but which chipset, which superio and which flash chip?

lspci -nn should show the chipset.
superiotool -dV may show the superio

The flash chip is only identifiable by inspection, so open your
system and look for a flash component. There is a section on how to
identify it on the coreboot FAQ page: http://coreboot.org/FAQ
