Ah! Well, what you can also do is set the ISP_CFG_NONVRAM config option or do isp_no_nvram=1 # (1 << unit) in your loader defaults file (or at the loader prompt) and it won't 'believe' the NVRAM settings. It still might try and do Ultra though- that's a property of chip type, clock rate and (heh heh) a bit set in the Qlogic microengine's processor status register. I still would like more details (maybe in the mail to follow), but I probably can't look too closely at this until after December 1.
