You can then boot from the CD and load the update either from a secondary CD drive or HDD or something. Sincerely, Joshua Lewis -------- Original Message -------- Subject: how to apply bios firmware update? From: Erik Nørgaard Date: Fri, July 21, 2006 3:47 pm To: FreeBSD Questions Hi I have just downloaded a bios firmware update for my laptop, but it assumes that I run windows: close all programs, execute whatever.exe and reboot. Is there some utility that will allow me to update the firmware running freebsd or temporarily boot in some windows emulated environment?
