Okay, well I extracted the attached file using:

eval `./fmap_decode bios.bin | grep BOOT_STUB`
dd if=c720.rom ibs=$((area_offset)) skip=1 | dd bs=$((area_size)) 
iflag=fullblock of=c720-coreboot.bin

and:

../coreboot/build/cbfstool c720-coreboot.bin print

produces:

c720-coreboot.bin:
1024 kB, bootblocksize 3144, romsize 8388608, offset 0x700000
alignment: 64 bytes

Name                           Offset     Type         Size

zippo.
