Please do not try to flash any BIOS or firmware on a board you can't access physically. That also applies if you can't open the box. Flashing can go wrong and if you're porting coreboot to a new board, the first image you flash is very likely not to boot far enough to reflash the BIOS chip, so you have to open the case and remove the flash chip anyway. If that is not possible, the machine is bricked.
I've dumped the 256MB bios using the 'flashrom' utility.
