How long did you leave the battery out?  Putting it in reversed will 
speed the process, but don't leave it in but a minute or two in that 
case.

Actually is it nvram or is it flash eprom on this beast?  If the 
latter then it may not matter what you do with the battery.

Try doing a CMD-OPT-O-F and see if you can get into OF.  If so then I 
think set-defaults will restore things for you, or else you can do a 
printenv and reset everything the way it used to be one by one.  (Or 
does OF 3 not show the factory defaults for the settings?  I've 
mostly played with OF 1.)

Good luck.
