One of the problems we encountered in previous motherboard overclock testing was an early BIOS revision that had not yet been fully optimized for FSB stability. Updating it to version F9 was easily accomplished using a USB thumb drive, made bootable via Hewlett Packard's USB Format Utility and set as first hard drive in BIOS.

I just read this the other day. No floppy drive, no problem. I haven't tried this, don't know how well it works. Here's a link to the download:
