Make sure you got exactly same kind of hardware, otherwise you'll destroy the BIOS and fail to recover. >Has anyone did this ? Any problems of using FreeDOS with BIOS flashing >software ? Anyone has some hints ?

For Award Flash program it have command line support, so you only need to put the latest BIOS image and supply the correct filename and parameter in AUTOEXEC.BAT then it'll automatically FLASH the BIOS after boot. Don't forget to change the BIOS setting to "Flashable". If you're not using Award and need to keypress, try find PC Magazine's "KEYFAKE", it'll pretend to press some key when the program waiting for input.
