This is wonderful! Great! 

I'll put up some info about fixing this on the web pages later.

> Updating Firmware by Ethernet
> 
> To update firmware across the Ethernet, the "client" system (the target system
> to be updated) and the "server" system (the system that serves boot requests)
> must be on the same Ethernet segment. The maintenance operation protocol (MOP)
> is the transport used to copy the network image.
> 
> Enable the server system's NCP circuit.
> $ MCR NCP 
> NCP>SET CIRCUIT <circuit> STATE OFF 
> NCP>SET CIRCUIT <circuit> SERVICE ENABLED 
> NCP>SET CIRCUIT <circuit> STATE ON
> <circuit> is the system Ethernet circuit. Use the SHOW
> KNOWN CIRCUITS command to find the name of the circuit
> 
> Copy the file containing the updated code to the MOM$LOAD area on the server.
> Use the following command: 
> $ COPY <filename>.SYS MOM$LOAD:*.*
> This procedure may require system privileges. <filename> is the Ethernet
> bootable filename provided in the release notes
> 
> On the client system, enter the command 
> BOOT/100 EZ at the console prompt (>>>). The system then prompts you for the
> file name.
> Note: Do not type the .SYS file extension when entering 
> the Ethernet bootfile name. The MOP load protocol only supports 15-character

> After the FEPROM upgrade program is loaded, press Y at the prompt to start the
