I've got an SS1 with a dead NVRAM chip. From the FAQs I've read, it's
trivial to set the MAC address after the chip dies and it's set to
FF:FF:FF:FF:FF:FF. Providing I use the Sun "standard" of 08:00:20 as the
first three bytes of the MAC address, is there any real issue with me
choosing a random value for the last three bytes? Alternately, if I call
Sun and give them the serial number of the machine, can they provide me
with it's original MAC address?
Thanks for your time.
