[SunHELP] eeprom password, part II

[Thomas Cameron]

No fireworks, it just Won't Work(tm) now.  I get an error when I try to
setenv or antyhing like that similar to "MMU miss" or something like
that.

Just bad luck on my part, I guess.

At least the new modules are cheap.

I've done the dirty deed with an SS2, IPC, IPX, and a SS5.  No hassle at

all.  No sparKs.  All working thereafter.  I wasn't smart enought to
find the 
usenet posts...;)

Used the 'two finger rule' (If it takes more than two fingers, its broke
or 
you don't understand how to do it).
