Hi,

with 0.9.5.2 it was possible to simply upgrade my boards BIOS:

flashrom v0.9.5.2-r1515 on FreeBSD 9.1-PRERELEASE (amd64), built with  
libpci 3.1.10, GCC 4.2.1 20070831 patched [FreeBSD], little endian
flashrom is free software, get the source code at http://www.flashrom.org

Calibrating delay loop... OK.
Found chipset "AMD SB7x0/SB8x0/SB9x0". Enabling flash write... OK.
Found Winbond flash chip "W25Q32" (4096 kB, SPI) at physical address  
0xffc00000.
Flash image seems to be a legacy BIOS. Disabling coreboot-related checks.
Reading old flash chip contents... done.
Erasing and writing flash chip... Erase/write done.
Verifying flash... VERIFIED.

It looks like 0.9.6.1 is no longer able to upgrade the BIOS:

# flashrom -w E35M1-M-ASUS-1502.ROM
flashrom v0.9.6.1-r1564 on FreeBSD 9.1-PRERELEASE (amd64)
