Has anyone come across this before, is there a solution, how can I stop
this message popping up whenever the machine is re-booted.?
Then i've reflashed the ROM with !ROM528 so far so good, i've then
rebooted the machine, now I get a warning message [Message from Desktop] saying [Machine startup has not completed successfully: 'sysctl: unknown
oid 'net.inet.tcp.rfc1644"] with three options [Floppy boot], [Cancel],
and [Retry].

The rfc1644 option (which was a security risk) has been removed from the Internet stack. Somewhere in !Boot.Choices you're likely to have Obey
file that does something like 'sysctl net.inet.tcp.rfc1644=1' - you should comment out this line.
I'd use a tool like Steve Fryatt's 'Locate' to search through your !Boot looking for files containing the string 'rfc1644' and you'll find it.

From an Iyonix backup, this file :-
!Boot.Choices.Internet.User
contains these, now obsolete, two lines:-
sysctl -ew net.inet.tcp.rfc1644=0 { > null: }
*sysctl -ew net.inet.tcp.mssdflt=1500
As already said, comment them out or delete them.
A little light reading :-

Thankyou Theo, and David for pointing me in the right direction, problem solved, it was indeed a line in the !Boot.Choices.Inter.User file, in
this case just the one line.
Commenting out the line "sysctl -ew net.inet.tcp.rfc1644=0" did the trick
I no longer get that warning message when re-booting the machine.
