I got no response when asking this before, so I'll add in a bit more data and see if anyone can help out. Having failed completely to update the firmware through the AlphaBIOS GUI, I switched to the fail-safe boot. The output is as follows: *** keyboard not plugged in... ff.fe.fd.fc.fb.fa.f9.f8.f7.f6.f5.f3.f2.f1.f0. ef.ee.ed.probing hose 0, PCI probing PCI-to-ISA bridge, bus 1 bus 0, slot 5 -- pka -- QLogic ISP1020 bus 0, slot 6 -- fwa -- DEC PCI FDDI bus 0, slot 7 -- eia -- Intel 82558 Ethernet bus 0, slot 8, function 1 -- dqa -- Cypress 82C693 IDE bus 0, slot 8, function 2 -- dqb -- Cypress 82C693 IDE ec.f4.eb.ea.e9.e8.e7. Checking dva0 for the option firmware files. . . If you have a floppy containing option firmware, Please insert it now and hit <return> when ready. Option firmware not copied. latest fwupdate.exe binary on it. Apparently a raw firmware image is needed (?). I attempted to manually specify the various files involved using Update fw -path dva0:fwupdate.exe with similar results. The output of the list command is: Device Current Revision Filename Update Revision fsb 3.1 fsb_fw 3.1 fw 5.62-1 nt_fw Missing file fwa0 2.46 dfxaa_fw Missing file Any help in getting this switched to SRM console is greatly appreciated.
