[rescue] Sun Voyager

[Peter Stokes]

Hi Ian

Yes, have installed hundreds of new NVRAMs thanks, just thought that any MAC
address was valid other than 0:0:0:0:0:0, but apparently not....

I will replace the NVRAM soon, just was not on the priority list as as you say
simple to temporarily set it up.
