Try just typing in flash625 at the command prompt and see what happens.

Did you copy system files to the floppy?

He wouldn't have been able to boot up with the floppy in the first instance.

Doh! Not thinking here, sorry.

A:\> flash625 615j900.bin and A:\> flash625 615j900.bin /Py /Sn, both
should have worked, if they are the correct files.

You may want to turn off the BIOS guardian first.
From the FIC site.
note:
If the "unknown flash" error occurs, the "BIOS Guardian" feature should
be disabled. This feature is supported by the latest FIC 1stMainboards
which have NOVUS functionality. Older models do not support NOVUS.

BIOS Guardian is enabled by default on 1stMainboard products that
support the feature. BIOS Guardian protects the system against computer
viruses that can attack BIOS while the system is running. Therefore,
users must disable the BIOS Guardian before reflashing the BIOS. To
configure BIOS Guardian, reboot the system while holding the "DEL" key
after power on until the CMOS setup screen appears, go to Advanced BIOS
Features and select BIOS Guardian option select 'disable' or 'enable'.
After successfully updating the new BIOS, it is recommended that BIOS
Guardian is re-enabled for added virus protection.
