It's such a lame topic.
Having trouble just getting a functional disc or whatever together to update the BIOS on a Dell server running ESXi? Use this:
http://linux.dell.com/files/openmanage-contributions/omsa-64-live/OMSA64-CentOS55-x86_64-LiveCD.iso
And put a copy of the BIOS that you need (from the Linux drivers section of support.dell.com - .bin file) on another server on the same network or pop it on to a USB stick (or even another CD/DVD). Copy the BIOS to ~, chmod 777 the file and execute it. Easy as pie. I can't believe this very simple method wasn't plastered all over the internet in place of the 4 bajillion websites that suggest doing a myriad of other painful things. Maybe I suck at searching, who knows.
