Repeated the 'apply_updates --yes'

Searching storage directory for available BIOS updates...

Checking system_bios(ven_0x1028_dev_0x0145) - a02
        Found Update: system_bios(ven_0x1028_dev_0x0145) - a04

Found out of date packages.

Running updates...
Installing system_bios(ven_0x1028_dev_0x0145) - a04

Reboot and I get a line saying installing BIOS update, please wait,
and then it goes to the Grub install. No errors etc.
