Sum make updated PROM flash images for Ultra 1 machines
available online:
http://sunsolve.sun.com/pub-cgi/show.pl?target=patchpage
(Look for Patch ID 104881 and 104288)
The upgrade is in the form of a standalone ELF image that
prompts for what flash images to update, then reflashes the
PROM (assuming the jumpers are set appropriately).
The ELF file is bootable via Sun's boot program, but not
via NetBSD's.
I wondered if anyone has any idea why?
file flash140:
ELF 32-bit MSB executable, SPARC32PLUS, V8+ Required, version 1 (SYSV), statically linked, stripped
