It should work. If you have serious trouble with that then there are also devices like the Bus Pirate[1] that can do the same thing (Though I have yet to do it myself). It's really neat how easy this kind of thing has become recently with all of the hobby electronics guys driving the market and opening up doors that 10-15 years ago looked bleak at the time (though that could just be my memory coloring it). I have used similar stuff to fix up routers (though haven't had to interface with the flashrom directly) and install openwrt.
