I don't know the geode in detail.
If you need only to display a "static" image (ex: your company's logo),
you could keep it inside your bootloader code as static data (an array,
in C source code) or on an external media (on the boot disk, if your
bootloader already has functions to read files from disk). copy it to
the video-ram (on some platforms, like the ARM, that means simply a
block of system ram) and then initialize your display controller (or
external video card) to the appropriate resolution and color depth to
initialize it (the display controller initialization could be taken
from the display-driver code, i suppose).
