There's a link for a very very generic flash programming util (in
userland) in among the OpenBIOS junk somewhere. It's damned good actually
- it's designed for reprogramming PC and Alpha BIOS ROMs. I think it's
just called "devbios" or something. Anyway, it should manage to reflash
things with most of the modern flash ROMs - Intel, AMD, Winbond etc.
