3. Updating BIOS
====================
    The flash utility (load.exe) is used to update controller BIOS.
	load.exe must run under pure DOS environment. It cannot run in a DOS box
	on Windows system. You should boot from a DOS floppy without any device
	drivers.

    The following command line is used to launch the flash utility:

         load.exe [options] [filename]

    Command line options:

         /A           Update Autoload.

         /Q           Silent mode. The program will not prompt for you to
                      confirm the flashing process.

         /V           Verbose mode. The program will show more detailed
                      information about the flashing process.

         /S <bus>     Only search adapters on specified PCI bus. <bus>
                      specifies the PCI bus number (a value from 0 to 255).

         /D <device>  Only search adapters for specified PCI device number.
                      <device> specifies the PCI device number (a value from
                      0 to 31).

         /C           Configure BIOS parameters before updating.
