Yes, BIOSses nowdays have builtin flashers that support USB. Also there are dual BIOses that help you in case flashing fails, or some machines where the bios payload is pushed from a running windows OS and is then flashed on reboot by the firmware, -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
