Every board I have looked at at least offers a dos tool you can use from
a bootable dos floppy to flash the bios.  Some boards can also flash if
the floppy is simply fat12 and contains the bios image since they have a
flash util in the bios.  I believe a few can even flash if the bios
image is on a cdrom, but I can't find anything to backup that thought.
