Hi, >maybe I can copy the file somewhere under /boot/kernel >and pretend it's a kernel, and try to boot it? I am always netbooting the firmware file. Until now it worked for me (from Ultra Sparc 1, 2, 5, 10, 30 and to Blade100). I suppose it works also for Blade1500 but I never did it. Maybe you give it a try. Just use your other FreeBSD machines as rarp + tftp server to deviler the file. The file should be renamed (or linked) to it's hex IP equivalent. tcpdump is your friend here!
