Okay. Refresh complete. |

|
| 14 |
This should work if 16bit support / BIOS PAL is in good order on the |
| 15 |
target system. |
| 16 |
|
| 17 |
The 'FreeDOS' install cd is bootable. |
| 18 |
It loads a 'generic' cdrom driver automatically. |
| 19 |
|
| 20 |
Write down the flash commands EXACTLY as spec'd in the LSI docs. |
| 21 |
|
| 22 |
Use 'isomaster' for a GUI ISO image utility. Very convenient. It's in |
| 23 |
the Gentoo repository. |
| 24 |
|
| 25 |
Get this file ( FreeDOS v1.1 source ) |
| 26 |
http://www.ibiblio.org/pub/micro/pc-stuff/freedos/files/distributions/1.1/fd11src.iso |
| 27 |
|
| 28 |
create a directory on your HD, call it 'firmware' |
| 29 |
place all the needed LSI files in it. |
| 30 |
Example HBA && files ( LSI 2004 / 9211-41 ) |
| 31 |
-- 2114IR.BIN |
| 32 |
-- 2114IT.BIN |
| 33 |
-- MPTSAS2.ROM |
| 34 |
-- SAS2FLSH.EXE |
| 35 |
|
| 36 |
|
| 37 |
Open the image ( fd11src.iso ) with ISO Master. |
| 38 |
Bottom Widow of ISO Master. 2 dirs showing. double-click FREEDOS. |
| 39 |
Top Window, find your firmware dir, highlight it, click the 'add to the |
| 40 |
ISO' button |
| 41 |
Save (as) the ISO to 'lsiboot' somewhere on you HD. |
| 42 |
Exit ISO Master. |
| 43 |
burn 'lisboot.iso' to cd. |
| 44 |
boot the cdrom |
| 45 |
|
| 46 |
choose the following options ( in order ) : |
| 47 |
Install to C: Drive |
| 48 |

| 51 |
press the [Enter] key |
| 52 |
Run FreeDOS from CD-ROM |
| 53 |
|
| 54 |
Command Prompt will show [ F:\ ] |
| 55 |
cd firmware [Enter] |
| 56 |

let the sas2flsh'ing commence. |
