As far as I can remember, there is minimal onscreen information given, but that might not be enough for the novice user.

The Flash process information is shown just at the top left of the screen and consists of something like this:-
Erasing.....
Copying....
Verifying.....

with a countdown of bytes to go.

But it wasn't the lack of information/feedback that concerned me as much as there is no user input (where there has always been before). The moment you boot the PC with new bios media ready to be flashed, the whole operation is out of your hands - so basically don't touch that media until it is finished.

In the past you booted straight to the Bios Flashing utility, where you choose the bios image, initiate the flash or if you wish, simply abort the Utility and exit - you had choices. Now when you boot with the flash utility, you have no choices (which could be seen as ok).
My concern is people like myself where normally expecting to interact with the Flash utility software screen, might have a peer over the screen think it's locked up or not booted properly into the flash utility and inadvertently halt the Flash procedure.

There is information, ie a few lines of short text in the top left of the screen during the flash - it is possible (I would think) to miss it if you are not aware things have changed and are automatic.
