I have the DEC 3000 booting off the firmware upgrade bootp image, right?
When I enter "update" in the utility, it goes
UPD-> update
Read IO ROM Device ID
?05 HLT INSTR
PC= 00000000.00000044 PSL= 00000000.00001F00
>> (dumps me back to SRM console)
What gives? Are my jumpers in the wrong position for updating?

I think you're on the right track, I can't remember (plus the only
3000 series system I have is a 3000-300LX), however, I think you need
to either have the one jumper added, or removed, in order to update
the firmware.

No such luck there - It was a corrupted firmware file..... Wget downloaded
it as ascii, a type I download with FTP got it fine, updated fine too

Just for the records...
There's a jumper at least on some TurboChannel Alphas protecting
against flash overwrites. However, on basically all machines I've
seen, this jumper is in "allow write" position by factory default. A
friend of me acidentally corruptes his flash chips due to that fact,
so don't learn it the hard way and secure your machine after your
flash update :->
