there is a bootable image somewhere on hp site.
one should boot either from spare disk or over the network.
the image itself will perform an upgrade.
one caution, it upgrades the graphics eprom as well and
changes the video mode.
the cure is to type blindly the boor_admin command to change to whatever
resolution one had before the upgrade.
