The biggest change is the switch from ND boot to TFTP boot so that sun-2s
can work in natively in NFS-based networks.

The new sun-2 PROMs are described in document 800-1736-10A.
It doesn't mention QIC24, but there is an extended test sequence.

I'd be interested in a copy if you happen to track down one of these newer
PROMs. The extended tests might prove quite useful.
