How to flash motherboard BIOS from Linux (no DOS/Windows, no floppy drive)?

Saturday, 2. February 2008, 13:08:46

Step 1: Download FreeDOS boot disk floppy image OEM Bootdisk

wget http://www.fdos.org/bootdisks/autogen/FDOEM.144.gz
gunzip FDOEM.144.gz

Step 2: Copy your BIOS flash utility and new BIOS image to the mounted floppy disk image

modprobe vfat
modprobe loop

mkdir /tmp/floppy
mount -t vfat -o loop FDOEM.144 /tmp/floppy

# unzip...
# cp ... /tmp/floppy

umount /tmp/floppy

Step 3: Burn a bootable CD which will emulate floppy device for us
