The manual states what you should do. Either install DOS 6.22, or Win 98 then update the BIOS with the VIA tool. This basically s.. but this is the way VIA designed the BIOS update tool. I'm sorry for you. Maybe you have a Win98 CD or a DOS installer at hand? If you haven't maybe you could get one in a local computer store, at ebay or take a less lawful approach.

And the manual states on pages 11-12 some other possibilities why an update is not possible. I don't know if this is case for your mainboard.

There could be a jumper, which might have to be set, or an BIOS option. Maybe it is possible to use a Win 98 CD without installing Win 98 and just boot to the command line.
