flashing bios, from floppy or harddrive?

I often flash my BIOS from the HD!

I boot to DOS using a WIN9x bootdisk and cd to the BIOS directory and do it from there! I don't really care that other TSRs are present! It works fine!! After the initial bootup from floppy, it's faster from the HD to flash it! Also when I back up the older BIOS, it saves it to that current directory!!

Good luck bud,

Hard drive. I always boot to "safe mode command prompt only" which as just as good as booting off a clean floppy.
 
taken from tyan's website:

<< 1.Download the BIOS file V90AW112.ZIP (or S90AW114.ZIP) and the flash utility AWDFLASH.EXE from web site.
2.Unzip the Zip file and save the awdflash.exe + v90aw112.bin (or s90aw114.bin) files into a clean diskette.
3.Shut down the system.
4.Turn the system back on. During Boot-up, press the <<Del>> key to access the CMOS setup.
5.Load the Setup Defaults in the CMOS setup, then Exit &amp; Save the changes.
6.Boot to DOS prompt without loading any drivers.
7.Put the diskette into the floppy drive, and change the DOS prompt to floppy drive A:
8.Type &quot;AWDFLASH V90AW112.BIN&quot; followed by the <<Enter>> key.
9.Then follow the on-screen instructions to finish the BIOS update. >>

Are you guys saying i should skip Step 7 and change step 8 to &quot;c:\biosflash\AWDFLASH V90AW112.BIN&quot; with the two files in the biosflash folder?
