If you have another system to use temporally and a copy of Windows you
can download BartPE and create a Windows boot CD. You can then boot
from the CD and load the update either from a secondary CD drive or
HDD or something.

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?
Thanks, Erik
