Sorry I'm late. I think may ask an additional [Y/N] question about this access before doing it. Also, I sincerely hope there still will be a LiveFloppy in addition to LiveCD - this way I'll still be able to use FreeDOS virtual floppy as a part of coreboot opensource BIOS. And, just in case FreeDOS

If you need a reliable flashing environment right now, you can use any bootable USB Linux with a flashrom opensource flashing tool - which could be installed as easily as a simple "sudo apt-get install flashrom" command (for Linux Mint). And then, if your board supports the internal flashing mode

Dennis, thank you for sharing. First of all, if you'd like to get a Vortex86 CPU-based PC, better to get those which are supported by the opensource coreboot BIOS, instead of the proprietary closed-source BIOS. This way, with the help of coreboot's SeaBIOS payload, you'll be able to - using a
