Freedos images
freedos.org has such ISOs etc which have worked for me in the past.
One would modify the floppy or ISO image, Google for 'freedos bios upgrade'.
for ISO images, examples include using mkisofs to create the bootable
ISO from an 'unpacked' freedisk ISO directory which would include the
bios upgrade files.
