Make sure the configuration switch for system controller matches the slot
it's in. Fixing the NVRAM seems like a good next step. Not sure I'd remove
the memory mezzanine, I don't think the board can do much without it.

Nothing on console at all. (via a 712 transition module)
Same behavior with the NVRAM removed.
I do have the mezzanine card which has stayed affixed with an interesting
inter-board connection. (Is this separate-able? Should it function
without this DRAM?).
I?ll dive deep into debugging this, but if anyone has some tips or
experience they could share it would be appreciated!
Thanks!
