I've been gone for a while, but I didn't see anything like this in the
archive, so .....

I have a pm-25 that got interrupted during an upgrade. Yes, I know, that's
bad. So, now it won't boot. So, I tried a netboot, and that seemed to work
okay. It came up, downloaded the image, and booted into ComOS. I logged in,
and got this.

Cool, eh? On further study, this box always wants to netboot now,
independent of the position of #2 dipswitch. Am I hosed? Is there some
magical recovery tool that will save this poor pm-25 from the grave?
