anyone have any experience with IBM ServeRAID BIOS
upgrades in FC2?

i'm trying to upgrade the BIOS on the IBM 4h ServeRAID card
in my X330 (secretly it's a Mylex controller). the utilities are
provided by IBM for RH 8.0 and 9, and i thought i'd give them
a whack on FC2 before i broke down and made the DOS floppies.

running the shell script as root, the process marches for a while,
then /uxlog/output.log gives the following:

Finding mount point for file '/tools/serveraid/srj4l71a.tmpdir/VDisk.vfd'...
