Yep, I know about uniflash, it's what I was using with this board before. The problem still is getting the rom from my floppy-less laptop to the other machine in a manner DOS can understand. I tried to get usb working on a dos boot disk, but none of the drivers I tried worked. So it's still boot into linux, read rom off the usb/network and copy to floppy/second partition, then reboot to flash. I suppose it is possible to set up DOS to work on the network, but that's something I've never done before, and doesn't seem like much fun. I found one howto in the freedos wiki, but it's really just the history of networking, with no real instruction.
The "Ultimate Boot CD" has bootable DOS images which can support Uniflash and IIRC one of the DOS images can even send files over the net or at least access some USB flash keys.

I just use cf card /w usb reader on my linux build machine and a cf-to-ide adapter on my linuxbios devel board. Formated the cf card with dr. dos and put uniflash on it, this way I have lots of space and many flash images to choose from. Now I am ready for hotflashing:)
