Try, since you seem to have Very New ROMs,

	boot 5/tz0

or maybe

	boot 5/tz0/vmunix

other possibilities include

	boot 6/mop
	boot 5/rz0/vmunix

Note, as usual, that if you do this and it makes your machine explode,
you have only yourself to blame for listening to a guy in a research
lab instead of to your field service rep.
