[Soekris] net5501 BIOS Update

[solar]

Resolved IDE HD reboot problems for me on my Net5501s (OpenBSD4.1) - thanks!
:

wd0 at pciide0 channel 0 drive 0: <HTE721010G9AT00>
wd0: 16-sector PIO, LBA48, 95396MB, 195371568 sectors
wd1 at pciide0 channel 0 drive 1: <CF CARD 4GB>
wd1: 1-sector PIO, LBA, 3871MB, 7928928 sectors
wd0(pciide0:0:0): using PIO mode 4, Ultra-DMA mode 2
wd1(pciide0:0:1): using PIO mode 4, DMA mode 2

One curiousity. On another 5501 I have, but with a different type of 4Gb CF
to above, it was not detected post upgrade:

Boot at 1.32:
Pri Mas  HTE721010G9AT00                 LBA Xlt 1024-255-63  97 Gbyte
Pri Sla  LEXAR ATA FLASH                 LBA Xlt 994-128-63  4009 Mbyte

First reboot at 1.32h:
Pri Mas  HTE721010G9AT00                 LBA Xlt 1024-255-63  97 Gbyte
Pri Sla  @AF@

Then gets stuck.
Subsequently, reboot works fine but Pri Slave is simply not listed.

Not a big deal for me as the CF cards are coming out, but thought it might
be worth mentioning.

All the best.
