*  sys-apps/biosdisk
      Latest version available: 0.65
      Latest version installed: [ Not Installed ]
      Size of downloaded files: 133 kB
      Homepage:    http://linux.dell.com/projects.shtml#biosdisk
      Description: A script that creates floppy boot images to flash
Dell BIOSes
      License:     GPL-2

This should be of use to you, I used the same software to flash my Asus
BIOS. At times you have to modify the script a bit. It works with the
"memdisk" image that comes with syslinux.

Tony.
