We have the infamous revision 7 microcode on one of our 750's.
The most wonderful part of it is that it no longer automatically
reboots because we run 4.2 on it, not VMS.

Booting currently consists of:
1) automatic boot off of console tape which loads the Diag Super and
   micro-code patches
2) mere mortal gets notified by angry students that system is DOWN
3) mortal goes in and finishes booting poor 750 by hand.

There has GOT to be a better way!

Has anyone figured out how to load the micro-code patches themselves
and put this fix in the UNIX boot program?

Any help would be appreciated.
