Update BIOS on Gigabyte K8NS Ultra-939?

[Eric Mittelstaedt]

I realize you've already found a solution, but I thought I'd pass this 
on to ya (and the other folks on the list) - I've been using the 
"Ultimate bootdisk" (http://www.ultimatebootcd.com/) that contains quite 
a few utilities plus different types of DOS boots.  Perfect CD to have 
around on floppy-less systems for diagnostics and BIOS flashing.
