Since no-one else has responded, I guess I will.  There WILL be a daughter
board available for the 2090 to make it function like a 2090a.  It means
that you will have to waste an extra slot, but you will get full autoboot
capability.  This thing hasn't gone through QA yet (as far as I know anyway)
so I can't make any guesses as to availability date, but it's coming....
