That certainly sounds possible; however checking the mail archives
shows that "DEC AXPpci233 MT Common Console X4.5-780" was the
"internal" firmware version which netbooted ok; it would seem weird
(though perhaps not beyond belief!) if 4.5-819 was substantially
different. At least, that's what I was hoping!
