    Greetings,
    
    Background: 
    
    Our company has received a Raq4 on loan from Sun Australia to trial
    some software on. The conditions are that the machine is return as we
    received it. This means that I cannot risk upgrading the ROM, so I'm
    looking at alternative methods for booting 2.4.x kernels (which
    requires the ROM upgrade). (See
    http://traumatized.org/linux/cobalt/kernel.php for info on installing
    Slackware with 2.4.x kernels.)
I can't imagine why you want to do this, but since you do...

The rom programming script that they use appears to make a backup of the
rom image.  That means that if you use it correctly, and you don't hose
your system, you **SHOULD** be able to put your old ROM back on.

I've done this before on PCs.  Needless to say, this isn't your typical
PC, so no guarantees that my experience means anything.
