If things go terribly wrong (and they will if you try
long and/or hard enough), you still want an external
programmer, it's the ultimate safety net against
bricking your boxes.  A BIOSSavior (or any other way
to program the flash in-system in a system that won't
boot correctly) is very nice during development of
course, but not strictly necessary, you can pull and
program flash chips all day if you have too ;-)
