[OpenBIOS] stupid question.

Quite true, which is why the "emergency recovery procedure"s are
vital.  Like on Ron's Intel L440GX+ boards, he puts in a floppy withthe
flash program and the old Award BIOS, sets a jumper, and the board loads a
minimal BIOS that can read and understand a floppy disk and then run the
flash utility.

Then again, not all recovery procedures are as good as this.
