Hello, all.
We've got a Dell M610 blade with VMware ESXi 4 installed and we need to update it's BIOS to the latest version.
Unfortunately, Dell only makes available a Windows (.exe) and Linux (.bin) versions of the BIOS update program (as well as a bootable DOS floppy version that is too big to fit on a 1.44MB floppy!).
We've tried using various "LiveCD" versions of linux distributions but keep running into errors. Anyone out there with experience with Dell blades who could give us a hint or two to get this working?
Thanks a lot, in advance.
