How to write a new LinuxBIOS image to the the PLCC ROM with FreeDOS and flashrom from AMD.

* Get flashrom from here (URL here). This is a DOS binary.
* Get a bare-bones OEM FreeDOS boot disk from http://www.fdos.org/bootdisks/ : http://www.fdos.org/bootdisks/autogen/FDOEM.144.gz
* Copy the image to a spare 1.44Mb floppy:
$ gunzip -cd FDOEM.144.gz | dd of=/dev/fd0

* Mount the image (this assumes that you have a /mnt/floppy line in your fstab):
$ mount /mnt/floppy

* Copy flashrom and the ROM image to the disk:
$ cp flashrom /mnt/floppy
$ cp linuxbios.rom /mnt/floppy

* Unmount the floppy:

$ umount /mnt/floppy
