Hi, I'd like to update the (rather old, vintage 1997) firmware on my Ultra
1. However, the patch that supplies the new firmware
(flash-update-Ultra1-latest) (104881-07) has since been obsoleted by
104881-09, which contains flash-update-Ultra1-Model1[74]0-latest. Neither of
these work with my Ultra 1. I end up seeing (when netbooting the flash
update):
<snippy>
**ERROR - There were no binary modules found. You may have loaded
the wrong Flash update file for this system, which has the
root node "model" property: SUNW,501-2486
According to the front, I've got an Ultra 1 Creator. 167mhz CPU, current
.version shows:
ok .version
Release 3.11 Version 1 created 1997/12/03 15:44
OBP 3.11.1 1997/12/03 15:44
POST 3.11.4 1997/05/27 02:26
Does anybody happen to have a more recent flash update for the Ultra 1
sitting around?
how are you booting it? netbsd /ofwboot can't boot this yet afaik.
