There is no such thing as "the Linux way to reflash my BIOS". The flash
program is written for DOS. Ergo, you must run DOS to run the flash
program. I wouldn't do this from a DOS box in Linux, because the video
card is already in use. You _could_ transfer the boot floppy image to an
El Torito boot image and burn it to a CD, but probably easiest just to
put the floppy drive in for the 2 minutes it takes to do this video BIOS
upgrade.
