[rescue] EIO card in HP 4M

[John Hudak]

I'll see your SS20 and raise you a couple of i9s running as docker hosts
being provisioned by kubernetes (just for grins, did this on a few RPi4s as
well)....nope, couldn't do my work on a SS20...or even my clustered
uVaxs....Ahhh, the good old days.... ;)

So just curious, what is your fallback if the SS20 releases the magic smoke?
