   Hi, I'd like to update the (rather old, vintage 1997) firmware on my Ultra
   1. However, the patch that supplies the new firmware
   (flash-update-Ultra1-latest) (104881-07) has since been obsoleted by
   104881-09, which contains flash-update-Ultra1-Model1[74]0-latest. Neither of
   these work with my Ultra 1. I end up seeing (when netbooting the flash
   update):
   
   <snippy>
   **ERROR - There were no binary modules found.  You may have loaded
             the wrong Flash update file for this system, which has the
             root node "model" property: SUNW,501-2486
   
   According to the front, I've got an Ultra 1 Creator. 167mhz CPU, current
   .version shows:
   ok .version
   Release 3.11 Version 1 created 1997/12/03 15:44
   OBP 3.11.1 1997/12/03 15:44
   POST 3.11.4 1997/05/27 02:26
   
   Does anybody happen to have a more recent flash update for the Ultra 1
   sitting around?


how are you booting it?  netbsd /ofwboot can't boot this yet afaik.
