[rescue] IRIX issue #2, seeing the new vfe board

[koehler at shaw.ca]

Hi Sheldon and All, 

IFIRC, on my XL there is a monitor command which updates the hardware inventory.  I used it when changing CPU boards around.  I dont remember the exact command, though, but its something obvious. - Found it - "update".  See, it was obvious - ( bangs head on desk ).

Cheers, Geoff
