Hi, Sorry for the late reply. As I mentioned in the man page, the fwdownload command currently only supports SCSI disks.
"fwdownload: Program firmware of the named <<SCSI>> device using the image file provided." We have added firmware download command to atacontrol at work, for which I have attached a patch against 8.2 to this email. The format of the command is similar to the camcontrol counterpart: atacontrol fwdownload <device_name> <path_to_image_file> But ultimately we would like to add the support to program ATA/SATA disks to camcontrol as well.
