yes, it is possible.

you just need to boot from your cd the same that you would do it from your floppy.

start creating an old win9x boot disk (with cd-drive support).

then burn all of the content to your cd, don't forget to add your bios image and your bios flasher program (it will be a waste of space ).

if your computer is set to boot from cd it will automatically load and simply running the from the command-line your flasher program.

don't forget to...

use a boot disk with cd-reader support

configure the bios to boot from cd

advices...

you can insert the commands to autoexec.bat so your flash program will start automatically
