Reviving Suns when NVRAM dies (was UNIX on old-ish machines)

[Saquinn624 at aol.com]

Regarding resetting the NVRAM bits, especially the MAC number:
If it has a disk, dmesg is your friend (on SunOS anyway, too lazy to fire up 
the Solaris box). The MAC address is saved in the syslog each boot. I seem to 
recall that the Sun NVRAM FAQ doesn't point this out, but it saved me from 
having to "invent" a MAC on my IPX
