Has anybody figured out how to do this? I need to update the BIOS on
a system with a Tyan motherboard. Tyan support sent me an EXE file
and a BAT file along with the BIOS image as a ROM file.
I understand that I need to create a bootable USB stick that contains
the minimal DOS files needed to ex
It's fairly straightforward. You want what, a bootable (Free)DOS USB key?
You should be able to mostly follow
http://en.gentoo-wiki.com/wiki/FreeDOS_Flash_Drive, but with different
paths to your GRUB data files, presuming they're installed [I haven't
checked, I'm not near any of my OI systems]...

OT: Do we have the linux-style "mount -o loop" in OI? Cool if so!
Worthy RFE if actually not... ;)
I got too used to the inconvenient Solaris method of doing this:
mount -F pcfs
