Bios upgrade under Linux?

[Aaron Grewell]

I'd be surprised if dosemu got you anywhere.  These bios patchers
usually need to be in protected mode with direct hardware access.  Try
making a freedos boot disk and using that.  That's how MSI does their
bios boot disks and it seems to work fine.  DR DOS should also work,
though I've lost the URL for that one.
