I have to flash two more Supermicro X9SCx series motherboards this week, and had a realization, I needed an easy to use DOS LiveCD image.
Project goal: Create an easy to use CD for over IPMI updating.
IMPORTANT Note: There are no representations or warranties with this LiveCD. In fact, it is probably best not to use it as errors in the BIOS and firmware updating process may cause permanent failure of components. By downloading this file to share or to use it in your system you are assuming all risk. Bottom line - there is risk that you are assuming when you download and use this.
Current Release: Beta Version 0.1
