Can't update alphaserver 400 to v5.7 firmware?

We have one alphaserver 400 that will not allow us to
update firmware from v5.4 to v5.7, while several others
updated with no problem.

I boot the firmware cd, and get the update menu.
I then issue commands, but:
        "update" returns with no response
        "list" returns:
                ROM devices supported 28F020 Intel/Amd Flashmem
        "verify" returns with no response
        "debug" and then "update" gives:
                ver=v7.0-9
                vendor=dec
                prod=avanti
                firm=avanti_SRM
So, it's not like it fails, really, it just does nothing.

Does anyone have any idea what might be going on and
how to get this to work?

TIA...
