So much worthless conjecture. Techtosterone overrode.
To answer the question at hand: If your CMOS is truly toast in every way 
you can buy a new one with your appropriate BIOS flashed on it from a 
place like http://www.biosman.com/
There are probably issues because it's a laptop. Could be a hardwired 
CMOS, who knows?

BTW: If the CMOS it toast then the hard drive could have the meaning of 
life on it and it wouldn't matter. since when can you bootstrap from a 
floppy?
BBTW: Don't listen to me I'm a dumbass.
