Boot Rom Errors - HP 9000 300 Series Installation Reference

Boot ROM Errors
If the computer detects a problem with the boot ROM (that is, it failed checksum), it
displays the message:
BOOTROM Rev. X Failed
instead of the BOOTROM Rev. X
message displayed when powerup is successful. It also
displays the message:
CONTINUE AT OWN RISK (Press RETURN To Continue)
The computer will do nothing further until you press the
I
Return
I
key. Your computer
is somewhat unpredictable in this state and could alter the programs that you want to
load from a disk. Therefore, if you decide to continue, make sure you have extra copies
of any disks or programs that the boot ROM might access.
