What do you mean the update url's are customised for windows? The bios 
doesn't know anything about operating system. Most likely you could 
download a dos boot disk image - google, there are plenty around - 
create a bootable floppy and copy your latest bios image and bios update 
program, eg awdflash.exe onto it. Just boot from the floppy and run the 
update.

Just be sure the bios image is really intended for your motherboard and 
don't interrupt the update.
