Subject: Custom BIOS supported size

Hello,

Which is the maximum size supported for a custom BIOS image(eg.
coreboot-based)? I tried some 256K coreboot BIOS images and seemed to
work fine, but it blowed up with a 3MB image (which by the way works on
qemu just fine). 

Qemu also seems to fail with images greater than 4MB, and I'd appreciate
if either kvm or qemu had support for such images, and maybe even
greater than that if technically possible.

You can get such images from http://www.coreboot.org/QEMU
The 3MB one that I tried can be fetched from
http://panzer.utcluj.ro/~alien/coreboot/AVATT/BIOS/OpenVZ/bios.bin

Thanks!
Cristi
