	ROM E20  ProLiant 6000 (01/26/1998)

	from 8 to 256.  (Fixed in E20 11/14/97 ROM which was
	not made available for wide distribution.)

	Added support to check for a bootable CD if the machine is  
	at the "Non-System Disk" message. Previously, when a key was
	pressed the machine just checked for a bootable floppy.
	(Fixed in E20 11/14/97 ROM which was not made available for
	wide distribution.)

	Upgraded support for the Compaq SMART-2DH and Compaq 
	SMART-2SL Array Controllers when used in a Standby

	distribution.)


	Fixed Intel Pentium Pro B1 Step Processor errata that in
        rare instances could result in system hangs.

	Allow additional 32k of address space for Third Party PCI 
	Option ROMs. This allows a fourth Adaptec 2940uw SCSI Card 
	to be installed and execute its Option ROM properly.
