I am trying to cross flash the IBM Serveraid M1015 to IT mode, following this tutorial (IBM ServeRAID M1015 Part 4: Cross flashing to a LSI9211-8i in IT or IR mode): (http://www.servethehome.com/ibm-serveraid-m1015-part-4/)
The problem I am having is accessing the 'flasher' files downloaded from the link provided on how-to page which I copied to the bootable USB drive.
I created a bootable DOS USB drive using FreeDOS (from Linux machine) and copied the downloaded ' flasher' files to this drive. However, when I boot from the USB drive, I only see the default files in the FreeDOS created root directory (a:\). The tutorial states 'Self Extract the files somewhere, then place onto the USB stick' which I did when I created the bootable USB drive.
Is there something I am missing when creating a bootable DOS USB drive and accessing the 'flasher' files? Should the 'flasher' files be copied to a separate drive then change directory (in DOS) to this drive to run them?
Any help pertaining to creating the USB boot drive from anyone who have successfully cross-flashed their controller would be appreciated!
