Hmm, other BIOS Updates may be relevant, yes. Which version of Main BIOS do you 
have?

Actually, you should not have win2k installed on the very same server; however, 
prior to iLO 1.21 you *must* use USB floppy to boot from. If you need to I can 
prepare .img files for dd for you - just drop a note ;-)

I did not dig into these .EXE format though - it seems there should be rather 
straightforward process to extract floppy images from HP soft updates...
