yeah.  read the mailing list archives to find the caveats about this.
(turn any boot file name you have set up in your bootp/dhcp daemon
OFF, and check the bootp/dhcp reply's boot file and the shark's
behaviour with tcpdump to make sure you're getting the right image
file.)

Also, the patch:

: vi  drop h# 40 + " OBMD" comp abort" Not a firmware image" ;
patch vi verify-image flash-load-image

entered at the firmware before trying to upgrade or placed into the
nvramrc should help provide sanity.
