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

Ok, I was able to downgrade the OS on my 4000 to version 4.0.830.
However, the model and platformbytes are still wrong. The ethernet address is also wrong.

I can unlock the bios, change the settings for each of these and lock bios, but none of the configuration will stay. Any ideas?

One interesting fact that I noticed is that after issuing the

config cmos serial-no

command, the name of the device changed to reflect the new serial number.

At this point, I am resigned to believe that the problem is not in the OS, but rather in the BIOS.
