good question. 

I just found this out: there is a bug in the new build that has crept in. 

If I build linuxbios from this file, and flash a 512KB flash, it won't 
boot. 

If I do this:
cat linuxbios.rom linuxbios.rom > 1M
flash_rom 1M

to a 1M part, to boots fine. 

I'm tracking it down.

Thanks for the file. But would it work if I specify the ROM_IMAGE_SIZE
larger than 0x1?

Thanks, 
I got an error while specifying the fall back rom image size of larger
than 64K. See below: 

1. When ROM_IMAGE_SIZE = 0x2000
./buildrom linuxbios.strip linuxbios.rom /opt/filo/fallback/filo.elf
0x2 0x4
linuxbios image is 131087 bytes; only 131072 allowed
Linuxbios input file larger than allowed size!
: Success
make: *** [linuxbios.rom] Error 2

2.When ROM_IMAGE_SIZE = 0x3000
./buildrom linuxbios.strip linuxbios.rom /opt/filo/fallback/filo.elf
0x3 0x4
linuxbios image is 196623 bytes; only 196608 allowed
Linuxbios input file larger than allowed size!
: Success
make: *** [linuxbios.rom] Error 2

Actually, don't set CONFIG_FS_STREAM if you're using Filo as a payload. 
Use the CONFIG_IDE_STREAM instead.

1. What do I have to add in the Config.lb file to make it use filo? I
know CONFIG_FS_STREAM should be set to true. What else?
2. I remembered linuxbios supports ROM image size larger than 64K now.
But when got compiler errors when specifies it as 128K. Do I miss
anything?
