[SunHELP] E-250 and invalid IDPROM contents

[Frank Carreiro]

Well.. as fate would have it we experienced a power outtage (no I'm not 
in california ::grinz::).  The UPS of course failed to kick in and now 
the e-250 upon boot up gives me the following message:

"The IDPROM contents are invalid - RSC MAC UPDATE FAILED"

---

As I understand it the openboot system is unable to determine what the 
local mac address of the on-board 10/100 nic.  I'm curious if there is 
anything I can do at this point.  I tried STOP-A N to reset the NVRAM 
however that made no difference.  Any thoughts?

BTW, I can ping "some" systems on my network and pull down email from 
our email server.  Other systems I cannot communicate with at all.  Very 
bizzare.

Thx

Frank
