If there's a way to hex-dump the PROM on the working IPX (ideally without
removing it) to duplicate it then that might work even better. I know the
one PROM works fine, the other one is a couple tenths behind (2.7 versus
2.5 or something like that).
Both of these should be model 4/50's. The motherboards have Hobbes
silkscreened on.
Assuming SunOS could boot CD-Roms fine from the 2.5 PROM rev it might be
nice to try to track down what the NetBSD bootloader is doing "wrong" and
fix that. Its not as if the PROM revision is particular relevant once the
OS has booted :)
