Piotr,
Corrupt firmware? Is this a message during boot?
I don't have the maintenance manual handy, but to reload firmware
a jumper must be set in the cpu faceplate, then boot and
update via ethernet method.
All that is required, I "think" is the firmware .sys file. Which
seems to contain loader and firmware image.

No, during boot there is no message at all... Machine just hangs while
performing system test...
As for the update process, I found detailed description on a Cybrary
mirror... The problem is, I can't find the .sys file you mentioned.
Google searches returns nothing, HP/Compaq site hosts only VAX7000
firmware and the only place, where I would find the firmware, was never
publicly available (cybrary.inet.cpqcorp.net).
If, by a chance, you have the firmware image available, or know where I
should ask, please let me know. I'd love to have this beast running...
Best regards,
Piotr
