On the drivers and utilities CD that came with the motherboard, somewhere on there is the utility AWDFLASH. Put that on your boot disk, boot from it, then run that utility. It'll ask you for the name of the BIOS file and flash the BIOS for you.

No need just hit alt and f2 at boot and it has a built in awdflash util that comes up and will read your bin right off floppy drive.

One caution: Make sure the BIOS version you're trying to flash is the only file on the floppy disk. Otherwise, the BIOS-based AWDFLASH will not find a suitable BIOS for the board.
