  1. Download the bios iso cdrom from lenovo website
  2. # apt-get install genisoimage
  3. # geteltorito filedownloaded.iso > biosupdate.img
  4. # dd if=biosupdate.img of=/dev/sdc bs=512k
  5. reboot

Check /dev/sdX is the usb stick disk . Note that of=/dev/sdX want disk and not partition (eg. not sdX1 but only sdX).
