I want to modify my bios to include a etherboot PCI room. For that I need at
least 10,5K free space. Below you will find the output of "cbrom
<mybios.bin> /D"
Which of these components can be released from the bios without risk
flashing the computer with an invalid bios file. Can _all_ modules be
removed and still get basic boot funtionality (so that one can flash another
bios if needed) I can live without EPA, antivirus and ACPI functionality.
Is it done simply by the use of the "Release" parameter or are the
additional steps needed?
Please help me :)

You mean to tell me that you can't just add an network boot rom into your PC
through a PCI slot or something?
