I've got an SS1 with a dead NVRAM chip. From the

trivial to set the MAC address after the chip dies and it's set to
FF:FF:FF:FF:FF:FF.
It is even trivial to replace the dead battery inside the chip,
if you
know where and how to open it...
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?
Just use random bytes. That is
what I did. But of course be sure that
there is no other machine on your network with that value...
