Also, is there a good page available on how to actually patch your
firmware? It appears there's a newer one than my C180 has, but I couldn't
locate a How-To on HP's site (although I confess to not having the time to
dig too deeply)...

The firmware image is a shar file with a HOW-TO included.
Basic steps are to unpack, transfer the update lifimage
to bootable media (network, tape, disk) and boot it.

If you haven't, read the parisc-linux.org FAQ too. (It's short).
