IRX Upgrade

We have purchased a used IRX which has a corrupted ComOS. It has
a revision C PROM so we are not able to use the PROM boot method. I have
tried to use the RARP method outlined at Livingston's site but that so far
has proved unsuccessful. I am wondering if the problem is that there is
not a way for us to set the IP address on the IRX (but I thought that was
what the RARP was supposed to do). My UNIX machine sees the RARP request
and responds, here is some of the debug info:
rarpd: got a packet
rarpd: ethers name is: nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn
rarpd: rarp_bootable looking for FFFFFFFF
rarpd: sending rarp reply
rarpd: got a packet
rarpd: ethers name is: nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn
rarpd: rarp_bootable looking for FFFFFFFF
rarpd: sending rarp reply
The nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn and the FFFFFFFF are the same IP address. I
have setup the tftpboot directory as I thought it should be, and also
uncommented the inetd entry.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated as I am hoping to put
this box into production over the long weekend. Thanks.
