A while ago I mentioned that I had problems booting a 5000/240 diskless
(via tftp). This is what I would get:
>>init
>>boot 3/tftp

Last week we got another unused /240 here, and just for the hell of it
I tried to boot it via tftp, and it worked. It turns out that V5.1b
ROMs for a /240 _don't_ work, and V5.2b ROMs _do_ work. Unfortunately
I can't tell where the ROMs live, I would guess that they would have to
be on the CPU daughter board, but there's no obvious spot there...
This is just a little "to let you know" message so someone else doesn't
get caught out in the future.
