Are you sure that your NVRAM isn't invalid?  Your machine shouldn't be
sending RARP requests unless you have explicitly told it to boot from the
le() device.   If it comes up immediately requesting an Internet address,
especially for the hardware address 0:0:0:0:0:0, it's likely that your
NVRAM has been erased.  If you post the exact messages you are seeing, we
could help you better.
