1166.0. "*** CPU 0 NVR invalid... after firmware change" by COPCLU::FTHOMSEN (Frank N. Thomsen @DMA, 857-3625) Tue Apr 08 1997 14:20

I did a firmware DOWNGRADE from 4.1-6 to 4.0-4 on a 4 cpu 8400 5/440.
 (I will upgrade to 4.8-6 later today, when I get the MOP set up properly)

Did a >>>build -e on all 4 cpu's 
(Did NOT do a >>build -n, release notes doesn't say so, but note 1162 does)

Got this after INIT:

Will an >>>build -n cure this?
