+... it seems, that you have tried to patch direct into the org.-firmware-file and without offset ...  
+  
+set up a loopdevice as decribed above:  
+  
+  
+losetup -o 834198 /dev/loop0 firmware.bin  
+  
+# 834198 is the offset for the 48/64-T20  
+# other mem-configs use firmware with different offsets  
+# you can identify the ntfs-partition-header with a hex-editor  
+# have a look in the 48/64-Firmware and compare the pattern with your  
+# machine-specific firmware-file  
+  
+and then  
+  
+dd if=etherboot-image.zhd of=/dev/loop0 bs=512 seek=1  
+  
+now the patch is written to the right position in the mounted  
+firmware-file and you can send this file to your machine  
+  
+!!! patching to the part of the firmware the soft-bios and flash-tools are located  
+!!! can break the machine - be carefull
