I got the upgrade about two weeks ago, and the info they sent with it
indicates that to get FFS autoboot, you'll need new EPROMS.  One way or
another someone isn't getting the straight story.

Now with autoboot and the NoClick posted to the net a couple of weeks ago
(works with a 2000!), I don't ever have to stuff in a floppy unless *I* want
to.
