Well, I saved our old boot rom image, so that wont be a problem.  But I 
think now I should go back a little and further explain the problems I am 
having.  The Apollos I am working with are the 400 model with 68030.  
They have revision a boot roms.  As far as I understand up to this point 
in time, they will not be able to boot over the network with revision a 
boot roms.  So, I acquired what I thought would be the image for a 
revision c boot rom for my 400, but it is not.  I now must either put the 
old image back and again be stuck, or get a 68040 and a 50MHz crystal. 
One question: What are the chances of being able to succesfully netboot 
with the 68040/revision c boot rom?

I have also gone back and read the mailing list archives, and to my 
knowledge, if the machine can netboot, an option should appear on the 
boot options menu.  This has never happened.  I am running rbootd, 
rpc/bootparams and rarpd (although the latter two arent even used until I 
can get the SYS_NBOOT file to the apollos).  As far as I can tell, the 
most feasible option appears to be getting a 68040 and a 50MHz crystal.  
What does everyone else think?

Kyle
