LinuxBIOS fits in 64KByte with etherboot. So even 256KByte is not a problem. You just can't put a linux kernel in anything less that a 512KByte rom. And if you want to boot the linux kernel directly it still doesn't have to live in the same physical phlash chip although that is very convinient. Eric
