Also make sure the floppy isn't in the drive when you boot the filer. The firmware floppy isn't a bootable image.

Geoff, I had a similar problem when I created the floppy from a unix system. Did you create it on a PC formatted floppy. If not, it won't work. C-

I have an F720 that was running OnTAP 5.2.x and I upgraded it to OnTAP 6.1. Unfortunately (and there are a couple of these), I forgot to update the motherboard firmware first. Normally not a big deal, except this F720 happens to be in the Phillipines and I'm in Dallas, a 14 hour time difference.

Luckily enough, the F720 boots up, but it complains that the firmware is too old and that I should upgrade to 2.3. The latest firmware available is 2.8, but when we tried to update the firmware, we got an error after the program started running: The attempt to load a boot image failed. It then drops back to the ok prompt and the firmware is not updated.

Does anyone know if I have to first update the firmware to 2.3 and then to 2.8? It's been a long time since I have had to do this operation, and I don't think it ever covered such a span of versions.

i guess the data on your floppy was not cleanly written . either your floppy is defectuous, either the image you downloaded was corrupted

try to download the firmware again and use another floppy . and touch some wood
