Hi,

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!

Regards,

Gheorghe Ardelean.
