I don't think that the NVRAM would do that. When I flash an NVRAM 
(because it has a password) I pull the NVRAM before it boots. It boots 
fine with no NVRAM. The url you were referencing is : 
http://www.squirrel.com/squirrel/sun-stuff.html
Let me know if you know any of the codes, and thanks for your input.

Try to connect a VT100 terminal (9600 8N1) to serial A and watch
the diagnostic output. Perhaps the NVRAM battery ran out of power
- that happens quite often now especially if the boxes are switched
off for a long time. Get the NVRAM FAQ and proceed.

Steffen, no URL: something with 'squirrel' in it
