Yeah, assuming you're running Windows....
Do you have access to any Windows machine?
Only for making the floppy or other image.
Then you can run the SP53272.exe file on that, it will give you the possibility to burn a bootable CD with the firmware code.
For kicks, I downloaded a BIOS update for an old(er) HP system I own... While you run the software on Windows, it is a FreeDOS bootable floppy image. Now that I've got a bootable floppy, I clone it with dd to an image file and I could PXE boot it.
I'm not quite sure why HP didn't just make a floppy image and distribute that back then. I keep a USB floppy drive and one Windows system (dual boot laptop) around just in case for situations like this.
If you don't have a CD burner on the Windows machine you can transfer the .iso file from the directory that was created when the SP53272.exe is unpacked, it will be in "ROMPaq CD/ROMPAQ.iso".
You don't need Windows on the dl580.
