For those with the ROM space (i.e. non DOC) I really recommend setting
up a dual LinuxBIOS image.  It is very handy to do things like debug
your memory setup code while knowing you can still boot the system
from LinuxBIOS if things go wrong.

And this is doable for anyone with just a cmos clear jumper,
and the ability to test if RAM has already been initialized.

Plus there is great piece in mind in knowing you can recover
if your flash of LinuxBIOS goes bad.
