Sadly in a corporate environment, asking an end user to handle the
biosdisk bootloader change is a little foreign to them. We would really
need to be able to use the update_firmware to make this transparent to
our user base. I *AM* very happy to have the work around, but the VP's
will be saying, "I don't have to do this with Windows...".
