Don't use a startup disk, it loads stuff into memory that you don't want. You want to put a blank floppy in the drive, open a DOS prompt, and type:

format a: /s

Then, as indicated, copy the aflash.exe and the bios file to that disk.

However, can you tell us why you want to flash the bios? If it's working fine, don't. The only reason to flash a bios is to address a specific issue.
