(ASCEND) P75 upgrades

[taylor@atlanta.sgi.com (Charlie Taylor)]

I've been upgrading a number of Pipeline75 from various versions of
5.0 to 6.0.2 via tloadcode.  The steps are

  1. fsave
  2. tloadcode  hostname filename
  3. nvramclear

This seems to work about 50% of the time.  The other 50%, when the pipeline
reboots it comes up in the factory config.  If I then put a serial cable on
it, go do diags and type "nvramclear" again, it reboots and comes up with
its correct (saved) configuration.  

Am I doing something wrong?  Is there some trick to getting this to work 
reliably?  Clearly, having to go out and stick a serial cable on these 
units to upgrade them is time consuming and should be unnecessary.

Thanks,
