+We've simiplified the process a little with the usage of an bootable flash disk. There is also a slight change in the order of assembly because of an issue with CMOS reset after inserting new hardware.
+ 1. After removing the lv-67c kit from it wrapping attach the pcm-cia and mini-pice cards (As [#CaseAssembly below]).
+ 1. Attach the video card assembly as [#PreviousCmosVideo prior]
+ 1. Power On and listen for the post beep. Hit Delete immediately after. The screen setup will usually lag the input so you will have to hit the button before you can see the prompt. 
+ 1. Once in the bios, goto the boot order menu and do the following:
+  1. Disable the USB FDC: (select it and press x)
+  1. Enable the USB HDDL !SanDisk Cruzer Micro-(USB [[BR]][[Image(EnableCruzer.JPG, 300)]]
+  1. Save and exit
+ 1. After you save and exit the system will power down. If left alone it power back up and proceed to boot from the USB disk.
+ 1. After the post,  in the serial console you will see the kernel boot messages pass by
+  1. NOTE: The first time it boots from USB it will complain about the file system needing a check. Choose i to ignore this and let it finish booting.
+ 1. Once booted, login and issue a sudo poweroff command.
+ 1. remove the video card and replace it with the Ethernet card. Disconnect the KVM usb cables.
+ 1. Power up again, it should still boot into the serial console and you will eventually get to a login prompt. 
+ 1. After logging in, issue this command 
+    {{{
+    sudo nvramtool -B lv67c_2011-8-29.bios
+    }}}
+ 1. The bios is now configured. Reboot once more and check the serial console for bios boot messages. It should try to pxe from the leftmost interface (verify the mac address).

 The second batch of Lv67c motherboards do not need to have their bios flashed, only reconfigured.
