Hello all,kit and a Dremel. I then booted up my SB100 to find that my operation had worked but my IDPROM contents are still invalid. I have tried a lot of other guides such as https://forums.irixnet.org/thread-219-post-10157.html#pid10157, https://it.toolbox.com/
Recently I booted up and old SB100 just to see what as going on and I got a prompt about NVRAM U13. As most people find, you have to get a new NVRAM chip or cannibalize your NVRAM chip and add a battery. I chose the second part as I have a soldering

Just a quick update, on my NVRAM chip there was a sticker that housed the correct ethernet address, however, finding the host id will still be a problem.

Have you done a set-defaults, then reset-all, (or similar) at the obp
prompt ?. Host id is not that important, but you can enter the mac
address from obp. The first three hx bytes from Sun, then just think
up something for the remainder that doesn't conflict with anything
else on the subnet. There's a howto o the net to enter the mac address, calculate the c/sum ad save to nvprom...
