Yeah, this is an old dead thread, but for the sake of google and people
searching for "dead battery 660av" let me just note that it usually works if
you power them up, leave them on for half minute, then quickly cycle power.
The PROM will be zapped, you'll be without any idea what time it is and so on,
but if all you want to do is boot NetBSD you should be fine with a ntpdate
after you've botted.
