SubjectRe: ANNOUNCE: /dev/bios - flash rom bios driver
Hallo,

in the discussion around that subject I haven't heard one argument yet:

You won't need the new bios until you reboot!

So after doing "dd if=newbios of=/dev/bios bs=128k count=1" you still
can check the new image inside the bios, and you still can reburn it or burn
the old bios image, which you hopefully saved.

So: Keep it simple.

Root ( or some invader who has become root) can still destroy anything...

Bye
