Since you have Windows 95 box just format a floppy with the system files only. Once you have sys.com and drvspace.exe on it copy the firmware flash to it then boot from it. At the command prompt (a:\) just type the name of the firmware upgrade utility and it should run. That's all I do for all BIOS and firmware updates, I just keep a floppy with those files ready to add whatever flash utility is pertinent to the drive or BIOS to be upgraded.
