I have come into possession of an old ultra2 (2x 300mhz, 512mb ram). Its 
been sitting on its default install since 1997, and I recently (like 
friday) installed the 2/02 Sol 5.8. I also installed the 8_Recommended 
patch cluster, and it wants to upgrade its firmware (so that it can run 
100% 64-bit). This is fine with me, except that its complaining it needs 
CPU Board Jumper 2003 "checked". Looking over the sun-managers archives 
and various other google repositories of sun nuggets, I see that its 
looking for a jumper on the cpuboard or a key in the front. I don't have 
a key in front. Anyone upgraded the firmware on an ultra2 recently? Am I 
missing something?

Thanks,
alex
