whether or not flashing is safe despite this message depends on your
board. If you provide a verbose log for this board, we might be able
to tell you more. For instance, newer systems with the BIOS flash con-
nected through SPI to the southbridge or almost always safe to flash
(you can see in the manpage how to tell flashrom that your board is
not a laptop, or that it should flash anyway).

Hope that helps,
Nico
