[rescue] Re: Axil Ultima 1 boot PROM question

[Christopher S. Komuves]

I just did this myself to my Axil Ultima 1 200 MHz machine (did a flash 
update of the PROM as Solaris 9 asks to do).  I've looked everywhere, 
and can not find information on this.  Does ANYBODY have even an old 
PROM image for an Axil Ultima, that could be used to at least restore my 
machine to running the 32-bit version of Solaris?  I'm desperate to get 
this machine which still works quite nicely, back to full working order.
