You need to ask the motherboard manufacturer. Motherboard flashing through
the motherboard (as opposed to pulling the bios rom and putting in a
programmer) is not standardized and each motherboard needs its own flashing
tool.
If they descxribe how to do it using a floppy (presumbaly under DOS), you
can probably do this with a CD instead. As I said there is a tool for writing
floppy images to CDs so that the CD is bootable. I used that technique to
reflash the motherboard of an older machine at work that didn't have a floppy
drive.
