If the bios ends up _really_ screwed, become friendly with someone with an
EEPROM programmer, they may be able to reprogram your BIOS chip for you.

Another option, which I have seen done, but definitely do not recommend to
anyone, is finding someone with an identical motherboard, and swapping
your dead BIOS chip into his motherboard after he's booted off his BIOS
chip (while it's running) and reprogram.

Are you sufficiently scared off from BIOS upgrading yet? :)

Don't stress. It's not likely to go wrong.
