Dario,

Thanks for the suggestion, but it doesn't seem to be the cards.  These are 
cards that I purchased from www.disklessworkstations.com with boot proms 
installed, and they work fine in other machines.  It appears that for some 
reason, those boxes don't realize that there is a boot prom available.  
There are no other cards in the computer so I don't think it is a resource 
conflict, but I'm not sure.

Thanks,
Derek
