+! Patching the Firmware with DD
+
+I tried patching the firmware
+
+#natsemi:dp83815 -- 0x100b,0x0020
+#HD (experimental) Hard Disk Partition Image (.zhd)
+#default-values + CONFIG_PCI_DIRECT
+
+and received a ~~22.54k eb-5.4.2-natsemi.zhd .
+
+I used dd to patch my stock binfile:
+
+ dd if=/tmp/eb-5.4.2-natsemi.zhd of=/tftpboot/evo/U48CPQ163.bin
+
+However, the unit hates this new, very small file:
+<verbatim>
+ May 24 01:43:38 fishy in.tftpd[5271]: RRQ from 192.168.0.125 filename /tftpboot/evo/U48CPQ163.bin
+</verbatim>
+ repeated about 50 times per second
+
+the old binfile is 48544412b; this new one is 23594b. Is that as much a concern as I think it is?
+
+Anyway, my 48/64 is still unhappy. I even got desperate and random:
+<verbatim>
+ Uploading /tftpboot/evo/pxes-1.2-2PB-2.6.nbi [4002](02)
+ Upload Successful [4002](01)
+</verbatim>
+And nothing more....
