For most systems, you can create a floppy image, and burn it to a CD as 
the boot image. Some BIOS updaters expect to write to the floppy, and will 
fail when running from a CD, though.

Otherwise, if you have DOS/Windows installed, you should be able to do it 
through that. Another alternative is to get a USB memory key thingy, 
format it to bootable MSDOS on another system, and boot/flash from that.
