The same thing happens on both of my PWS 433au's. I've tried it with a SRM flash that was about 5 years old(when I first got the machines, they had been in use about 6 years) and with the most current flash. One box is running 2.4.18 and the other is running 2.4.20. I cannot change any of the srm environment variables. The only way to get back to a srm prompt if boot is set to auto is to reboot and hit control-p several times as soon as it says it's loading aboot.
