Yes, not mine either unfortunately (Award Medallion BIOS for ASUS
CUV4X-D revision 1016), well, not that I'm aware of.

Hence why I suggested floppy using initrd, that is almost _always_
available -- or can be installed at low cost.  What's a cheap
second-hand floppy drive, $5, $10, you might get one for $25 brand new?
