It turned out that I've made not the best choice of my gigabyte dual bios AM3+-motherboard, because they have changed the procedure of BIOS restoring from manual user controlled to automatic. And I couldn't find yet any information where this automatic is located.
They have a patent which describes how it works. A separate chip needs firmware to perform a special handshake before a timer expires, at which point the system is reset and the backup flash chip is activated.
Maybe it would be possible to workaround it.
You can lift the chip select pins from the mainboard and solder in a switch. Something corresponding to what is described as the simple modification at http://stuge.se/m57sli/
