seabios thinks about vgabios.bin:

Scan for VGA option rom
Attempting to init PCI bdf 00:02.0 (dev/ven 11111234)
Attempting to map option rom on dev 00:02.0
Option rom sizing returned f0800000 ffff0000
Inspecting possible rom at 0xf0800000 (dv=11111234 bdf=10)
No valid pci signature found
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Adding a pci rom header (with vendor and product id which seabios will 
check) doesn't look that useful for a generic vga bios though.  If we go 
down that route we'll need at least two roms then (one for std, one for 
vmware-svga) where the only difference is the pci header ...

cheers,
   Gerd
