Just some short remarks from my experience with biosupdates,
* If you use memdisk in combination with pxelinux don't use ME it will
fail (in my expirence).
* I prefer to use DOS/bootdisks from Win 98SE
* Some Bios-Update Programms will not work with pxelinux, but will work
from other media like floppy or cd
( I had the same freeze as in your description on HP BIOS-Updates with
pxelinux but not from CD)
* Some Bios-Update Programms will not work if you use Memory mamager
programs.
* If you have to use the himem memory manager and pxelinux please use
the /testmem:off switch.
Yours sincerely

Ever tried Uniflash program instead of the vendor/motherboard dependent

Maybe it's also DOS flavour specific, you might want to try for example
MSDOS 6.22 or DRdos or FreeDOS,
rather than depending on a Win95/98/ME/XP bootdisk.
I assume you have an empty config.sys on it and very maybe an
autoexec.bat with "@echo off" and "afud408 /options" ?
