decent enough machine but while booting I wa presented with errors about a
bus running out of resources. I'll try to capture that off the console.

I figure that I may as well flash up the BIOS and SP and maybe that is the
issue at play here.

The SP says I have this :

localhost $ inventory get software
Name         Revision  Install Date             Description
BIOS-V40z    V2.35.2.2 Mon Oct 23 13:59:48 2006 Platform BIOS for V40z servers
SP Value-Add V2.4.0.10 Factory Installed        SP Value-Add Software
SP Base      V2.4.0.10 Factory Installed        SP Base Software
localhost $

However this :
http://www.sun.com/download/products.xml?id=45b0166d

says I can have SP version 2.4.0.14 and V40z BIOS version 2.35.3.2

I do the download .. setup the NFS share etc etc and lo and behold that
download only has 2.4.0.10 in it :

    ./sw_images/sp/spbase/V2.4.0.10/install.image

I had to check the md5 SUM and yes I have the correct download but not the
correct BIOS.  That is odd.

as for the strangeness during boot I will try to capture that with the
console redirection feature.  Thus far it appears on my DEC Terminal and no
where else and that is odd indeed.  It *should* be in the syslog somewhere
also.

I'm not very helpful here ... but I am pointing out that something is amiss
with that V40z BIOS/SP update download and also that perhaps snv_69 has an
issue with this hardware.

Now I will try to fetch real data.
