Default Re: Snap Server 4000 that thinks it's a 2000

Model Byte currently is:
==> 0 - 2 drive IDE: "Minnie"
1 - 1 drive IDE: "Mortie"
2 - 4 drive IDE: "Laser"
3 - 12 drive IDE: "Clipper"

Platform Bytes are "0.0.0"

Tried commands in this order

bios unlock
bios platformbytes 2 0 1
bios model 2
lock bios
reboot 0

The model shows changed after command, but the setting does not stick
The platform bytes always shows 0.0.0 regardless of what is entered

bios version shows:

Failsafe Bios not found

Bios stamp 2.0.252 Thu Apr 01 16:30:19 1999

Plat Bytes 0.0.0

Model Byte 0

The ethernet address / serial number is also showing the wrong information

Shows:
Ethernet Address has been set to 00-C0-B6-00-42-67 (Serial Number 16999)

Should be:
Ethernet Address has been set to 00-C0-B6-04-9F-1C (Serial Number 302876)

System log shows
E Ethernet driver : Checksum, signature or ethernet address is wrong. Defaulting E2-Image. Network 3/18/2007 4:50:47 PM
W Ethernet driver : Writing whole image. Network 3/18/2007 4:50:47 PM

E Ethernet driver : Checksum, signature or ethernet address is wrong. Defaulting E2-Image. Network 3/18/2007 4:50:47 PM

I tried

bios platformbytes 2.0.1

but I got a syntax error.

info version shows:

Product: 0 - "Minnie: 2 drive IDE" - Platform Bytes "0.0.0"
Server-4.0.860, Build Date: Mar 2 2005 17:50:35
