 imho there was/is a BIOS bug in the WRAPs.
 
 There is a some description here:
 http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-embedded/2006-July/000024.html
 
 You can find some blog/mailinglist posts/... about how to update the

 etherboots.
 
 See this link for exmaple but be sure to read and understand things
