Thanks KS,
It seems to me that the critical step in such a scenario is being able to
reconfigure BIOS from disk (CF) boot to PXE boot under the "old" flash
image, then load something intermediate via PXE, and after the "new" flash
image was burned being able to reconfigure BIOS again to boot from
disk/flash. Can I perform these BIOS changes from running XPe and WinPE
images?

Yes this is a valid way to re-image your devices, basically use RBS tofinal
download an intermediate XPe image that you use for deployment of the
XPe image.PXE,
You could also use Remote Installation Services (RIS), which also uses
to download a WinPE image onto the XPe devices and then use the WinPEimage
to prep and re-image the CFs on the XPe devices.to

the following scenario feasible?
1. Change BIOS setting from XPe CF image to boot via PXE.
2. Boot a special PXE/RBS image.
3. RBS image reprograms CF, switches BIOS back to CF boot.
If the above is nonsense can someone suggest other feasible ways of
accomplishing this goal?
