Flash bios from usb stick

From DWIKI

If you need a DOS tool to flash your bios you can do the following:

Get the small Freedos image: http://www.ibiblio.org/pub/micro/pc-stuff/freedos/files/distributions/unofficial/balder/balder10.img

Plug in a usbstick, and use dmesg to find out what device name it has. You will lose all data after this:

dd if=balder10.img of=/dev/sdc

Boot the system from this stick, insert another stick containing your flash tool and image. The usb stick will be accessible as B: drive.


TODO Make a bootloader load balder10 instead.
