upgrade aao bios

To upgrade the BIOS of the Acer Aspire One (AAO), do the following:

1. Run unetbootin, install FreeDOS on a USB key
2. Download the latest BIOS (v.3309 in my case) from here, extract into the USB key
3. Reboot the AAO into FreeDOS, in “LiveCD only” mode, with the power cable plugged in, and run 3309.bat
