Many of the Asus boards have the EZ-Flash program. You can save the new
bios to USB/floppy/cd and the DOS flash program is stored in ROM. No
need for a boot disk. On most of the boards I have seen it is accessed
by pressing Alt-F2 during bootup. Check the manual for your board to see
if it supports this.
