Flash image seems to be a legacy BIOS. Disabling checks.
Writing flash chip... Erasing flash chip... SUCCESS.
Programming page: DONE!ss: 0x0007f000
COMPLETE.
Verifying flash... VERIFIED.

i read it again and md5summed against the source i wrote in, and they 
match, so i guess it's ok.
i'll reboot.

thank you,
Balint
