[rescue] Sun 386i

[Richard]

Not quite related but suggest trying the config setup found here

http://www.typewritten.org/Projects/Sun/922g0403.html

Had issues booting my 386i before doing this...

Also I am assuming your followed the guidance here when you replaced the
nvram..

http://www.obsolyte.com/sunFAQ/faq_nvram.html

FWIW I have had bnewb nvram not work due to a dead or marginal battery.
Might be worth checking the battery or just replacing it

Regards
