...and in that case, it is imperative that you try to recover the info
on the chip before it dies completely. Type 'n' to enter the forth
mode, and type

ok .idprom

Write down everything that is dumped to the screen; you'll need it.
Note the spaces between the zeros; a string of zeroed bytes will
be output as "0 0 0", not "00 00 00"; in other words,
"0e fe 0 f" is "0e fe 00 0f", not "0e fe 0f".

It is always good advice to save this info from any Sun machine
before the NVRAM dies.

Carlos.
