Hi,
at power up, my 3/60 now prints:
>EEPROM: Using RS232 A port.
Selftest Completed.

Sun Workstation, Model Sun-3/60C/G.
ROM Rev 3.0.1, 24MB memory installed
ID PROM invalid.

Testing 20 Megabytes of Memory ... Completed.


A quick search on google about this points out to the sun nvram hostid faq,
which deals with the 3/80, sun4c and sun4m but not older (3/60 or sun4).
Does anyone know what's going wrong (I suspect it'a a battery problem,
but it seems it's not the same chip as the 3/80 or sun4c/m) and how to
fix this ?
Google didn't find anything interesting about this problem on a 3/60.
