 The assembly of the LV67G follows the assembly of the LV-67C exactly with the following exceptions:
- 
+
+=== Flashing the LV67-G bios ===
+
+The LV67-G does not require an external video card. The on motherboard VGA header works and can be used to flash the bios. This version of the bios will also boot from a USB flash disk if it is attached by default. 
+
+ 1. Attach VGA cables, keyboard, etc..
+ 2. Insert usb flash disk containing BIOS image. 
+    * See [http://www.orbit-lab.org/wiki/Internal/USBBoot this page] for instructions on how to make a flash disk
+    * add the included [attachment:67G13.bin bin] file and the [attachment:fpt.exe FPT] flashing tool to this flash disk (the full file set in on the archive)
+ 3. Power on the node and let it boot into FreeDos. It may ask you to set the date and time, these can be safely ignored.
+ 4. At the C:\> prompt run:
+    {{{
+    C:/>FPT -F 67G13.BIN 
+    }}}
+    Note the flashing process may take a while.
+ 5. Once Flashing is done, reboot the node and enter the bios by hitting the delete key. You should press repeatedly immediately after the power reset because the window in which
+    this bios accepts the del-menu command is very short. If you hit the key within the window the post beep will sound different (2 beeps instead of one).
+ 6. Once in the menu you can enable the console redirection and set the boot order to try the pxe interfaces first. The options are a little different...
