Here is what I finally had to do to get this to downgrade. When I tried to net boot using the NE040232.dmf file as is, the ARC kept rebooting, I finally had to console into it to remove configuration to have it boot via flash. After I got that under control I again tftp booted using the 4.2.73-1 code which was named netserve.dmf, that worked and I was then able to flash via TCM to 4.2.32 and I'm now able to boot from flash with 4.2.32 Sigh, what a pain! A thank you to Veda for getting me pointed in the right direction and the rest of you for moral support! :-) - Mike ------------------------------------------------ Rock Island Communications, Inc.
