The below is the procedure to upgrade rommonA of a MSC in IOS-XR. be sure that when you upgrade, you only upgrade one type of rommon then reload the location before upgrading to the other. meaning, if you decided to upgrade all rommonA, then you should reload all MSC/PLIM after upgrading rommonA then you can proceed with upgrading the other rommon.
Of course if you don't know what you're doing you might screw up the MSC and PLIM. make sure you consult Cisco if you don't know what's going on.
The only problem with upgrading rommonA is that the command is hidden, don't know why exactly. anyhow, here's how you do it
I decided to print a log of all goodies before till after the upgrade

Wed Mar 4 17:48:34.023 UTC
***** UPGRADE WARNING MESSAGE: *****
* This upgrade operation has a maximum timout of 160 minutes. *
* If you are executing the cmd for one specific location and *
* card in that location reloads or goes down for some reason *
* you can press CTRL-C to get back the RP's prompt. *
* If you are executing the cmd for _all_ locations and a node *
* reloads or is down please allow other nodes to finish the *
* upgrade process before pressing CTRL-C. *
% RELOAD REMINDER:
- The upgrade operation of the target module will not interrupt its normal
operation. However, for the changes to take effect, the target module
will need to be manually reloaded after the upgrade operation. This can
be accomplished with the use of "hw-module <target> reload" command.
- If automatic reload operation is desired after the upgrade, please use
the "reload" option at the end of the upgrade command.
- The output of "show hw-module fpd location" command will not display
correct version information after the upgrade if the target module is
not reloaded.
NOTE: Chassis CLI will not be accessible while upgrade is in progress.
Continue? [confirm]
