Nice one. The canonical replacement MAC address for an old Sun
workstation with a dead NVRAM (for those that forgot to write the
vendor-assigned MAC address down before the battery died ;-) is 8 20
0 c0 ff ee (the first half being one of Sun's reserved 24-bit
prefixes).
Hmm... the Sun prefix is 08:00:20, so to be correct it'd be
08:00:20:c0:ff:ee. I've set the MAC address of several Sun machines to
that, following the excellent guides on
squirrel.org.
