[hpsdr] An atomic idea?

[Bob McGwier]

I have done the BIOS upgrade from bootable CD ROM (iso image on intel 
web site).  It is a two step process.  You boot from the CD,  you answer 
a dire warning question and THEN IT REBOOTS AND ONLY THEN DOES THE FLASH 
ACTUALLY OCCUR.

It is safe.  If you take out the CD-ROM after the first boot,  it gives 
an error message and proceeds merrily to POST from the old BIOS and then 
boot the OS.

This BIOS update  (December 2008) is necessary to install 64 bit kernels.
