使用： sudo dmidecode –type bios

将显示如下资料

YOU WILL NEED THE FOLLOWING:

1a) FreeDOS, specifically, this image: http://www.fdos.org/bootdisks/autogen/FDOEM.144.gz

1b) Alternate download location: http://www.mediafire.com/file/26md8h…e/FDOEM.144.gz

2) New BIOS image + flashing tool to be found at the web site of your motherboard/BIOS/OEM vendor.

M1: FLOPPY

Unpack FreeDOS image → copy image to floppy disk → create temp floppy dir → mount floppy → copy flashing tool and new BIOS image to /tmp/floppy (see footnotes below) → reboot following vendor instructions

Note: “NewBiosFiles” listed below is pseudocode for the extracted location of the new BIOS image + related files that you just downloaded

wget http://www.fdos.org/bootdisks/autogen/FDOEM.144.gz

gunzip FDOEM.144.gz

dd if=FDOEM.144 of=/dev/fd0

mkdir /tmp/floppy

sudo mount /dev/fd0 /tmp/floppy

sudo cp ~/NewBiosFiles/* /tmp/floppy

当命令执行完毕，装入软盘，并复制新的BIOS升级工具。 这就是这么简单。 重新启动即可。
