[SunHELP] U-5 OBP update.

[Sean]

I've aquired an Ultra 5 with the boot prom version of 3.15 and I've got a
cpu module (333,2mb) which requires OBP 3.31.

I've downloaded patch 106121-18.zip ("Hardware/PROM: Ultra 5/10 Standalone
Flash PROM Update").  It states that the update is not os dependant so I
installed OpenBSD 3.3 and copied the flash-update-Ultra510-latest file to
/ and tried booting it but the obsd boot manager didn't like it.  OBSD33
works fine on it's own but I'd like to throw that new proc in it
(currently is 270mhz).

So I got a copy of a recently downloaded solaris 9 install and am trying
that but it gets to 'Copying mini-root to local disk.' and just sits there
until after a while I get a shell prompt ("#") and the spinning progress
character still does it's thing but nothing more is copied and the
temporary install slice isn't bootable.

Does anyone have an image of a bootable CD that I can use to update OBP to
3.31 on this damned Ultra 5 or have any idea why solaris 9's install dies
(I get no error messages at all)?
