Do you have the documentation for your motherboard? Do you have the option to boot from a CD Rom? BIOS code is, I guess, still written in assembly language. If you don't want to write your own assembly code, you can probably get these guys to design in a virtual CD for you for about $10,000. http://www.gensw.com/pages/about/askarch/990624.htm Good luck.
