This means that your flash ROM is empty.  NDU should have loaded it for
you.  I don't know why it didn't.
51.2bridge does not support nduEMDS::SEAVERLENAC Net Mgnt Mktg 223-4573Wed Jul 29 1992 20:334
    It is my understanding that the currrent version of the bridge does not
    support NDU.  If you want instructions to upgrade your bridge code,
    copy EMDS::MANAGEMENT:BRIDGE_LOAD.TXT.  Note the current bridge code
    level is higher than 2.5.

    I have upgraded abt 5 DECbridge 90s using the faithfull VMS 
    NCP load node <nodename>
    
    put the bridge firmware in MOM$Load and the load file in
    NCP for the bridge as <name of firmware filename>
    
    Ex.
    
    ncp set node 13.1 db90 hard add 08-00-2b-xx-xx-xx service circ sva-0 -
        load file = wgb_rbms_v25.exe
    
    make sure your circ is service enabled and load node db90.
    
    If you have a VMS system around, this is easier.

    I have upgreded the bridge usingvms ncp ok now but i had to take the
    bridge card out of the hub and put it in a privet thin wire connected
    directly to my workstation to load it sussesfully outher wise the ncp
    load command wouled time out . Also the load took about 1 minit .
