In order to update the BIOS, the system must be booted into DOS mode, using a
DOS-boot diskette or CD image.
1) Copy the load.exe and the bios image file to the bootable floppy diskette
(you may need to use a different floppy depending upon how much space is
available on the boot diskette - this can vary).
2) If you are booting from a CD image, you will need to add these files to the CD.
Insert the boot image media into the appropriate drive, and boot the system.
