From Symbian Developer Community
The ROM.BAT batch file is used to build text shell roms. These are useful for testing non-UI components and is primarily used for testing and debugging.

Prerequisites
ROM.BAT requires particular version of cpp.exe, which is bundled with the kits and can be found in epoc32/gcc/bin. This path should be added to the PATH environment variable. If you have other versions of cpp.exe in your path it will need to be added before them - see Kernel & Hardware Services Quick Start\Troubleshooting.
ROM.BAT must be executed from the kernel rombuild dir:
.../os/kernelhwsrv/kernel/eka/rombuild
Synopsis
rom <parameters>
Generate a rom image for the specified target, along with a rom.oby file that can be fed to rombuild to regenerate the image.
Mandatory Parameters
The following options must be supplied on command line:
--variant=<variant> e.g. --variant=assabet
--inst=<instruction set> e.g. --inst=arm4
--build=<build> e.g. --build=udeb
--type=<type of rom>
tshell for a text shell rom
e32tests for a rom with e32tests
f32tests for rom with f32tests

The following parameters are optional:
--name=<image name> Give image file specified name

Examples
For syborg (urel) text shell:
rom --variant=syborg --inst=armv5 --build=urel --type=tshell
or debug:
rom --variant=syborg --inst=armv5 --build=udeb --type=tshell
or for beagle urel:
