Trying to update OBP getting unrecognized magic number in media label

807557Jun 9 2007 — edited Jun 10 2007
Two questions both relating to my trying to update my OBP:

1. when I type
banner
I get ... AXi (UltraSPARC-IIi), PS/2 keyboard
OpenBoot 3.10.12 SME...

but when I type
.version
I get OBP 3.10.12
My question is which OBP update to use, AXi OBP 3.10.13 or OBP 3.10.31?

2. When I try to install either I always get the same thing
I copied the .Floppy file to a floppy
then type
boot floppy nolabel
just like the readme and I get this:
Unrecognized magic number in media label
Can't open disk label package
Can't open boot device
I have also tried coping the program file to a cd and tyring
boot cdrom nolabel
but same results

Any ideas?
Thanks
