Interesting. So you still have got the hostid and the
MAC address which might indicate, that the contents are not completely lost yet. Maybe
just a few bits flipped leading to a wrong checksum (and the diag-switch? being set to
true, leading to loooong POST times)?
Maybe, but it also says
"Setting NVRAM parameters to default values."
which suggests it has default values stored somewhere to set NVRAM to. I don't
know much about these systems' boot process, however.
