You mean you toasted *over your old bootrom*?!?  You win the "El Grande

I guess I may not have been perfectly clear that I was upgrading my 400s
to something else...  I thought you were trying to upgrade your machine. I
didn't know you were just working on netboot which your old bootrom
should have done.  In any event, the filename you retrieved via FTP
was:

-rw-r--r--    1 hpeyerl  user      226275 May 23 16:30 hp425-prom.gz

which I guess might have told you what the rom was for.

In any event, you now either need to get your old rom back (sorry, I
don't have any 400 (030) rom images) or you need to find an 040
and a 50Mhz crystal...
