Right on Mikkel

Also, if the system is shadowing the system or video BIOS - you lose another
section.

If I turn OFF shadowing of ROMS in my PC I get exactly 131072 bytes showing
BEFORE Linux loads.

If I turn them on I get a lot less.

Also remember: 1Mb = 1024Kb - not 1000Kb as a lot of people tend to think.

I wouldn't worry - looks good to me.
