I'm sure you can update the firmware in NVRAM from the Debug Monitor ROM firmware -- if you have that firmware installed and can figure out the arcane DMR commands to make that happen. Isn't the only way to update firmware from the ARC console by running fwupdate.exe on a floppy? The Genius at Digital that decided on a special fwupdate.exe for every firmware file is to be commended. For boards like Wilco's Aspen System board, which apparently has the firmware in EPROM though, installing MILO in firmware isn't an option, right? Unless someone wants to go into business selling the FreeBSD MILO analog EPROMs. -- Kaleb To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-alpha" in the body of the message
