Good to hear it!

Paul & Clifford:  Is your system a diskless system?  Did you get your
tape shipped normally from HP or given to you by an HP person?  What
are the p/n's on the tape?  Did your update process result in CDFinfo
parse errors or a core dump?  Please send email to 'bla@hpda.hp.com'.

Looks correct.  Manufacturing p/n ending in '2' instead of '1' is good.

Good idea.  S300: Look for manufacturing part number 'p/n B1691-19002'.
That is the 'good' tape, while 'p/n B1691-19001' is the 'bad' tape.
S800: Look for bad=p/n 92501-13501 and good=p/n 92501-13502, etc, etc.
Once again, only 'good' p/n tapes should have been sent in customer
shipments.  The 'bad' tapes were early HP-internal-only tapes.
