    I bricked my BIOS by flashing bad Setup ROM on Phoenix-Award v6 BIOS. Flashing was successful, but after re-start system doesn't boot up, video doesn't initialize. It seems that BIOS hangs up at some point. Is there a way to unbrick BIOS by fixing/skipping Setup ROM loading without re-flashing BIOS chip with external programmer? BIOS had single Setup ROM.
    Off-topic: what's the use of having Setup0 and Setup1 ROMs on same BIOS? How does it work with both ROMs available?
