A virtual machine is useful largely because it isolates the VM from the real hardware, therefore it's not likely you can update firmware from a VM (you really shouldn't be able to).
The reason they still want us to upgrade with dos is it's a lowest common denominator, i.e. every one has it or can get it (freedos). it also helps that it's a minimal enviroment. In any case, I suggest you run a REAL freedos on a Real machine, so that you can update real not virtual firmware. i.e. no Virtual Machine. mad.scientist.at.large (a good madscientist) -- God bless the rich, the greedy and the corrupt politicians they have put into office.
