I've swapped the NVRAMs and it worked perfectly. I've started to reprogram
the IDPROM, but I've run into a somewhat unique problem: the shift key
doesn't work on my Sun keyboard (The keyboard is a bit flakey and my monitor
is pretty messed up so I run headless, telnetting from my Mac). Neither
shift key works. So I can't type @ to compute the checksum for the IDPROM as
given in the FAQ. I don't know forth at all either. Any tips on computing it
by hand/decent calculator?
