Most flash utilities either use DOS (99%) or both Windows and DOS (~1%).

I've got one or to mobos that can read direcly from floppy. (I'm not
sure they actually have floppy drives attached, several of my machines
haven't).
Sometimes (often?) freedos will do the job; I think Dell and/or HP
uses Freedos regardless of what their actual instructions say.
AOL: my last two Gigabyte MBs have been able to update the bios directly
from
a file on a floppy without Win / DOS (and save the current bios directly
too). One
of the reasons my next MB will be a Gigabyte.
