I would advise repairing the old NVRAM on an IPX as then you know it's
100% compatible. It isn't hard to attach another battery if you can
solder. Have a look at the URL in my sig.

When I halt NetBSD on my SS2 I get the 'ok' prompt but the keyboard is
locked out (I use a serial console). This only happens with NetBSD. Any
ideas?
