BIOS shadowing is allowed Yes

I have a strong feeling this is gonna be a tough nut to update. Its the old way of updating BIOS and very CLI. I had done it myself before. You have to do things exactly to the letter.
The other possible issue is that the BIOS update files may have been removed due to how old the board is.

Shadowing refers to the technique of copying BIOS code from slow ROM chips into faster RAM chips during boot-up so that any access to BIOS routines will be faster. DOS and other operating systems may access BIOS routines frequently. System performance is greatly improved if the BIOS is accessed from RAM rather than from a slower ROM chip.

A PC system's ROM BIOS is stored in a ROM chip on the motherboard. On an older motherboard, the BIOS will reside in one, two or four EPROM chips. On a newer motherboard, the BIOS will probably be kept in a flash chip. In either case, the chip is accessed 8 bits at a time, while RAM on a 486 or 386DX system is accessed 32 bits at a time. Also the access time of ROM chips is slower - 150ns to 200ns compared to 60ns or 70ns for RAM.
