[flashrom] Bios flash failed

[Alexandru Dabija]

Before flashing the bios I've done a backup.

Than I verified the bios and I got the following output:
flashrom v0.9.1-r706
No coreboot table found.
Found chipset "Intel ICH7/ICH7R", enabling flash write... OK.
This chipset supports the following protocols: LPC,FWH.
Calibrating delay loop... OK.
Found chip "SST SST49LF004A/B" (512 KB, FWH) at physical address 0xfff80000.
Flash image seems to be a legacy BIOS. Disabling checks.
Verifying flash... VERIFIED.

Is it ok to restart my system?
