Hi Tom, Searching the net for specs on RS/6000 7024 E20 is the first time I here that it might be PReP. On the other hand loading (via TFTP) PReP images it just (:-)) ) hangs while CHRP images generate error ! 0001000A ... Also, it tries to boot PReP floppy while CHRP floppy gets ignored ...
About firmware update: I have updated from IBM site to the latest version for this model and still no prompt :-((( Can you sugest an URL for firmware updates that I might have been missing ?
