 	Sum make updated PROM flash images for Ultra 1 machines
 	available online:

 	    http://sunsolve.sun.com/pub-cgi/show.pl?target=patchpage
 	    (Look for Patch ID 104881 and 104288)

 	The upgrade is in the form of a standalone ELF image that
 	prompts for what flash images to update, then reflashes the
 	PROM (assuming the jumpers are set appropriately).

 	The ELF file is bootable via Sun's boot program, but not
 	via NetBSD's.

 	I wondered if anyone has any idea why?

 	file flash140:
 	ELF 32-bit MSB executable, SPARC32PLUS, V8+ Required, version 1 (SYSV), statically linked, stripped
