The NVRAM is probably a Dallas module that might go bad? There are ways to get replacement (Glitch) and reprogram in some stuff to make it go. You might be able to program it while it's on and just not power cycle it as well to get it going. Also, my Sun-foo is super rusty but there is a way to turn off extended diagnostics in the openboot thing so that it skips a lot of the checks and boots faster. - Ethan On Thu, 10 Oct 2024, Gregg Levine via vcf-midatlantic wrote:
Hello! I own of those rigs. Now the problem: Can anyone on the list tell me why a system would find itself stuck probing the keyboard, when it runs headless? And how to get things started again.
It follows that the unit who was last running, call it seven years ago, and when I first started it up again, the thing complained about the NVRAM and the next problem was a complaint of it being the system calls itself unknown. ----- Gregg C Levine gregg.drwho8@gmail.com "This signature was present when the impossible happened 23 years ago, twice."
