Hello,

I was in the process of flashing my Bios, using Bflash (the flash utility that was provided to me). I got all the way up to where it says "press y to program, or n to exit." When I get to this point, pressing either y or n does nothing. It's like my keyboard isn't being recognized at all. The steps before that, when I'm running off of the disk in my floppy drive works fine. I can use my keyboard with no problem in my BIOS setup as well (usb keyboard support is enabled). This is a USB keyboard. I cannot connect a PS2 keyboard because the ports were fried some time ago.
Is there any workaround for this? Perhaps a different flash utility? Or some different way? Any advice is greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Bflash should have some kind of switch that will let you flash in unattended mode, like AWDFLASH's /PY switch. Try running BFLASH /? to get a list of switches.
