Looking for very old Katana 752i boot code.

Recently got a hold of a Katana 752i board. I was able to dump the boot
memory and it shows up as:
PPCBoot 1.2.0 (May 30 2006 - 12:54:57)1.5s
In the Katana 752i user manual however, it shows console output as:
PPCBoot 1.2.0 (Oct 31 2007 - 12:52:52)1.7s
CPU: 750GX v1.2 @ 900 MHz
Board: Katana752i
BusHz: 200000000
I2C: ready

The board is running a PPCBoot image that is 1.5 years behind what the
manual has. *sigh* There are no fault lights and there are link lights for
the Ethernet ports, but no serial console output. My BDI2000 shows it stuck
in a loop waiting for something. In the user guide, Emerson says the code
is GPL, but none of their Internet domains work anymore. Any chance someone
has a copy of the PPCBoot that ran on their hardware? Older versions of the
Linux kernel supported this board. I have been going through U-Boot git,
but am having no success in finding code. Any help appreciated. Thanks.
