My Multia was delivered with firmware that identified itself as
'Multia SRM Console  BL5 V3.8-2'. With that version, I had netbooting
working.

Sometime after installing NetBSD to local disk on it, I upgraded the
firmware to the interim version that identifies itself with 'Multia SRM
Console  BL5 V3.8-3'. I have been unable to make netbooting work with that
version.

I don't have a disk image of the old version, because, at the time I bought
the Multia, all that was available on gatekeeper was the V3.8-3 (interim)
version.

Apart from netbooting, V3.8-2 had the same (apparent) bugs as V3.8-3 .
