Yes - the /150 had NO messages of the form "?I/O LANCE sts xxx"
and it booted FAR QUICKER than the /133 with those messages.

Can't comment - how long is a while? ;^) I have just
returned a system with the original /133 and a note re "TERSE"
- it worked almost as fast as the /150 once "TERSE" was set - but
without it, took 20 times longer to boot !!!!!!

Worked for me on /133 (KN02-BA v5.8j) - had to be capital letters
otherwise it didn't work.
AND - .1 says it won't survive a powerfail - he's half right - I
found it won't survive past the initial Boot. If you shutdown again,
then type >> printenv - it's GONE !!! Don't even need to powerfail
to lose it.
(Not very useful for turnkey sites - hope there's a f/w update
coming).....
