New Asus bioses can be flashed from a system-less floppy or a cd-rom¹
(and perharps even a usb key) : just put the file on the media and press
the magic keys while booting (something like Ctrl-F2 instead of F2, check
the manual).
¹ my manual only talked about a floppy but as I have none, I tried a
dvd-rw: I just unzipped the update, copied both zip and unzipped files on
the dvd (didn't know which one was necessary), rebooted and the bios
flashed itself. Automagical ;o)
