The terminal shows 'Ethernet Port Error - 24' after a clean boot while its port
works, so it is the firmware's own Ethernet self-test result (which also fails
in MAME per LANCE_LOOPBACK_REPORT), not damage from the payload.
Consequences: the banner is not evidence about the takeover, and the 'needs a
power cycle' claim now rests only on the runs that crashed; for the REST=0x0073
build the network was never checked after the run.
