I do have the same drive and I updated the firmware booting the image off
grub. All just need is a working grub (2.0 here) installation and syslinux
(for memdisk). (Though doing it with syslinux should work as well.)

The grub.cfg should have a config section that looks like this:

menuentry "Update Crucial M4" {
    set root='(hd0,1)'
    linux16 /memdisk floppy
    initrd16 /boot2880.img
}

If the files are in place (probably in /boot/) the image should boot and you
can successfully update the drives firmware.

Mounting the boot image, modifying it or installing freedos is not necessary.
