If you only want to update the normal image in a ROM you can say:
- flashrom -w --layout rom.layout --image normal island_aruma.rom

To update normal and fallback but leave the VGA BIOS alone, say:

Currently overlapping sections are not supported.
ROM layouts should replace the -s and -e option since they are more
flexible and they should lead to a ROM update file format with the
