Toshiba release BIOS updates in various forms for some devices,
including bootable ISOs. However, ludicrous as it may seem, in the case
of this laptop model, they seem intent only upon supporting flashes from
within Windows. I asked for Toshiba's help with this; they told me to
put Windows back on. I told them to sod off.

I am debating a few options:

1. Try flashing from a BartPE build of Windows XP
2. Swap a hard drive from another laptop into it, with Windows on, and flash 
from it.
3. Cave in and spend several hours "restoring" Windows, then reversing the 
process again.

I will post back here the method I use as it may be beneficial to others
experiencing this issue. I'll avoid discussing it further, though, as
it's not exactly pertinent to the bug itself.
