Default Cbrom Award bios modification

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?
