RP7420 - No Lan Cards found under Service Menu

[Sean McConkey_5]

I've been unable to Ignite this box and have been getting some strange results when doing a boot lan install

Boot Path to PFA failure.
Please make sure that the I/O card is installed correctly.

If I try other cards it sits for a while before failing. If I go into Information / IO I can see the following;

If go into Service Menu and select LanAddress I get the following

Service Menu: Enter command > lanaddress

                            Path             Slot
Lan Station Address         (dec)              #
-------------------         -----             ---

WARNING: No lan devices found in allowed bootable lan slots

In the MP if I do a du I get the following

[hp72] MP:CM> du

The following MP bus devices were found:
+---+----+----+-----+-----+-------+-----+
|   |    |    |     |     |       |     |

+---+----+----+-----+-----+-------+-----+
| 0 |*   |   *|  *  | * * | *   * | * * |
+---+----+----+-----+-----+-------+-----+

I notice no * under LAN.

Any ideas? I'm stumped.
