[Info-vax] rx4640 fails to boot OpenVMS 8.4

[Paul Wuerrer]

So I just tried to update the MP with the ftp method. However the MP complains about some files missing...

Here's the output I get:

 -> MP firmware upgrade in progress....

   -> Retrieving upgrade file using FTP.

   -> Retrieved an upgrade file successfully.
      Programming ROM.  Percent Complete: 100.
                                              
   -> Retrieving upgrade file using FTP.


   -> Could not find upgrade file set on source system.


   -> MP firmware upgrade was not successful.
   -> Check parameters and try again.

Apparently the MP can't find a file on the ftp server but everything from the HP-provided .tar.gz is there (E0315.bin, Resources.out, mp_e0315.txt, mp_upg.cnf, version.dat)

I'm now quite afraid of resetting the MP or turning the power off since apparently something has been written into ROM. I really don't want to wind up with a botched MP...
