Wont the bios be useless if one wrote an "bad" kernel on it? If one cant boot from it, than it is impossible to correct it..
Quite true, which is why the "emergency recovery procedure"s are vital. Like on Ron's Intel L440GX+ boards, he puts in a floppy withthe flash program and the old Award BIOS, sets a jumper, and the board loads a minimal BIOS that can read and understand a floppy disk and then run the flash utility.
Then again, not all recovery procedures are as good as this.
