I did it on FreeBSD 9.0 and 9.2, never did it on a 9.1 or 10 Current. I also never did it on cards other then the 9211-8i LSI cards. So do not hold me responsible if things go wrong :D If things go wrong it can damage the card so it has to be put in for RMA Download the firmware, and the sas2flash file for FreeBSD Then i do the following myrootonzfs ~ *# ./sas2flash -listall* LSI Corporation SAS2 Flash Utility Version 16.00.00.00 (2013.03.01) Copyright (c) 2008-2013 LSI Corporation.
