        Add POST notification to user if lowest revision processor is
        not the Bootstrap processor in multi-processor configurations.

        Fix issue where some Compaq Environment Variables could not be
        modified if an Administrative Password was enabled but not typed
        in during POST.  This could cause certain Compaq drivers and agents
        to not load or perform improperly if an Administrative Password was enabled.

        Fix issue with ROM mouse support for higher speed systems.

        Fix issue with unnecessary POST delay for some 40X CD-ROM Drives.

        Fix problem with the system hanging on a 101-IO ROM ERROR message
        (indicating a corrupt option ROM checksum during POST). After flashing
        the server with this release of the System ROM the server may continue
        to display the 101-IO Option ROM error during POST, but the system will
        not hang.
