BIOS Update for FERRARI

As a part of this system rebuild, I needed to update the BIOS to support the newest drivers for the Silicon Image 3114 SATA RAID controller.

I downloaded the newest BIOS from the Tyan web site (tyan.com). The most recent version was from 6/2005, v2.05.

The instructions indicate that I'll need two floppies. One is a Win98 boot disk and the other will contain the unzipped contents of the BIOS download.

I booted to the Win98 floppy, pressing F5 during the Win98 disk's bootup to avoid loading memory resident programs. I then switched disks and ran the flash command. Do not run amiflash. Just flash.

After its applied successfully, you'll be asked to reboot. Powered down after message about incorrect CMOS. Reset CMOS by powering down, flipping the CMOS reset jumper, unplugging the motherboard, removing and replacing CMOS battery. Booting back up with v2.05.
