its usually pretty safe.... the worst thing that can happen, which is super unlikely, is for the power to die while you're flashing it. Maybe plug it into a UPS.

Also, it may not be a bad idea to make another bootable floppy ahead of time, and put the old bios on that one. So , if the new one doesnt take, you can put the old one back.

You shoudl be fine though

walk up behind it while wearing a long beige trenchcoat and that it. tap it on the shoulder, and as soon as possible, open the trenchcoat to show it your nekkid and waiting body.

hope that helps
