Binding it to a SysReq key might make it a "local only" type of function, but
I'm not sure how much real value /dev/flashbios has overall. Most BIOSs are
issued by motherboard manufacturers with various flash utilities. There are a
bunch of different types of flash bios's too, so, if you choose the wrong
brand/type/etc, bye bye system (until you do the hot-bios swap).
I might not be totally informed on this issue, so let me have it if I'm wrong
with any of this. :)
Just figured I'd voice my opinion.
