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.
