the how-to seems to describe exactly my problem.

I press esc at boot and enter the boot selection.

I have:

PDC ROM rev. 2.1
IODC ROM rev. 2.1 
on my 720 "cobra".

i have a preliminary menu, with A I enter in the "boot admin" menu which I
think is what is needed.

"help" displays no ser command
howewer (doing cut and paste):

BOOT_ADMIN> ser clearpim
ERROR: Unknown CONSOLE command.
BOOT_ADMIN> ser pim
ERROR: Unknown CONSOLE command.

Was that command added later? do I have an equivalent? am I in the wrong
menu? I think owners of older hardware will know better.
