If the board is OK, but there just isn't any console in the NVRAM, you can
in theory burn a new image from a floppy without console interaction (since
you don't have a console) via the failsafe load.

I say "in theory" because I've never actually seen that work, tho I never
tried very hard, either. The system board does have a hard ROM that gets
control first, and that's the code that checks the failsafe load jumper.

What happens on power up?  Even with no flash, I think there should be some
output.
