+Example to boot from USB DOS drive, backup and update 9207-8i HBA firmware and BIOS:
+<file>
+c:
+cd c:\9207_8i_LSI_SAS\sas2flash_dos_rel
+sas2flsh_x86.exe -ufirmware SAS9207-8i_FW-Backup.fw
+sas2flsh_x86.exe -ubios SAS9207-8i_BIOS-Backup.rom
+sas2flsh_x86.exe -l flashlog.txt -o -f ..\Firmware\9207_8i_LSI_SAS\Firmware\9207-8.bin -b ..\sasbios_rel\mptsas2.rom
+</file>
+==== Other People's Notes ====
+:!: Use Rufus to make a FreeDOS USB boot volume.
+Copy:
+<file>
+sas2flsh.exe
+it.bin
+</file>
+to the root of the USB flash drive.
+Boot from the USB flash drive.
+execute:
+<file>
+sas2flsh -listall
+</file>
+:!: Note the numbers of the 2 cards (should be 0 and 1).
+Execute:
+<file>
+sas2flsh -c 0 -o -e 6 (erases the firmware ROM, do not reboot until new firmware is loaded)
+sas2flsh -c 0 -f 2118it.bin
+sas2flsh -c 1 -o -e 6 (erases the firmware ROM, do not reboot until new firmware is loaded)
+sas2flsh -c 1 -f 2118it.bin
+sas2flsh -listall
+</file>
+Verify the firmware is loaded properly.
+There is no need to load the ''mptsas2.rom'' unless you want to boot from a disk connected to the HBA cards (just use the SATA ports for boot, or USB).
+The above is also true if you use the UEFI installer which is recommended.  The command is sas2flash.efi instead.  The command map lists all drives in the EFI shell.  Change drives in UEFI like DOS ''DriveName:'' to change dir.
