No it is definitely 0x2

and yes, I read this before posting, the card is ignored with 0x2 and from
the nfsroot I could not overwrite the eeprom. I guess and hope it is
because it checks the version. I will try with the 2020-02 rom this
evening - lets hope it will do the trick.

For the future I'll know to set 0x21 and remove the card - saves some
headache.

thanks BTW
