We've been buying from AVNet, as linked from:

http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Flashing_LinuxBIOS 

.. but it looks like they're now out of stock, with a 14-week lead time.
Can anyone suggest an alternate supplier?

If you have a keyboard hooked up, pressing escape at the LinuxBIOS
progress bar will get you to the boot menu.  There's currently no 
way to change the boot device over serial, though.
