My system cannot boot, I get this message at startup time:

        Module in slot 4 has bad ROM format, can't configure it
        Module in slot 5 has bad ROM format, can't configure it

then

        panic (cpu0): vfs_mountroot: cannot mount root.

o Does this mean my firmware update to v7.0 failed?

o What are the modules in slot 4 and slot 5 and how can I fix
  the bad ROM format?

But, it does say during startup that I'm at 'Firmware revision: 7.0'.
And 'PALcode: Digital UNIX version 1.45'.

Please help! I'm going to try reloading the firmware now, because
it seems likely that the update failed at least partially
according to the above message.
