Subject: how to apply bios firmware update?

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
