[rescue] Openboot Update needed for Netra X1

[Jerry Kemp]

Hello Lionel,

Don't share any more information than you are comfortable with, but...
...   can you share what patch you have acquired for OBP (assuming it is either 
e19683-01 or 111952) , and what OBP version level this patch takes your Netra X1 to?

Thanks,

Jerry
