I've recently acquired a DECstation 5000/240, a MIPS-based workstation
made in 1992. I've got it to respond to the serial console (by
removing the frame buffer card) and now I want to try to net-boot it.
However, the console PROM is version KN03-AA V5.1b, which is too old
to boot via tftp. Version KN03-AA V5.2b would be OK. Now, does
anyone know if I can upgrade the console PROM somehow? If so, how?
I do have an EPROM programmer, of course!
