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.

Subject: KA694 FEPROM
Hi All
For some time now, I'm a happy owner of a VAX 4000-705 system.
Unfortunately, it came with corrupted firmware, and I don't have
replacement KA694... In 'KA694 CPU System Maintenance' I found
information that there were FEPROM updates distributed (AFAIK it was
called Firmware Update Utility). Can someone on this list point me to a
source for that? Or at least the firmware image alone?
TIA,
Piotr
