+1 for this... there are no *Anything based BIOS UPDATES from anyone
that I've ever seen... except for IBM.  BUT those are for their
servers...

Pretty much all the consumer level stuff uses a dos image of some sort
to flash the BIOS.  And the easiest way to get that is to do what
Steve says and get a FreeDOS image.  The BIOS flash utility should
work from there (it does in most/all cases anyway).
