Hmm... Can someone please tell me the number of a working prom version?
Does someone with a blade running solaris would like to test booting a
linux kernel before and after a prom upgrade?

It should work. I had the exact same box with a 4.0.x prom and it booted
fine (aldo CD's with ramdisks that are larger than 3 megs fail).

Well... You would have to dump the ide drives and use scsi ones. Can't
have any usb devices for what I can tell, and forced to use a serial
line as an input device.
