Yup.  And:

[root at drizzle ~]# getSystemId
Libsmbios:    0.13.2
System ID:    0x0121
Service Tag:  CVQVN11
Express Service Code: 28040985685
Product Name: PowerEdge 2650
BIOS Version: A04
Vendor:       Dell Computer Corporation
Is Dell:      1

So it looks like for some reason, bootstrap_firmware does not run 
getSystemId.
