Hello Folks,

I just assembled an Ultra-10 (replaced memory, CPU, NVRAM chip, IDE hard disk,
IDE CDROM) and it seems to be hanging somewhere. I don't get anything from the
VGA connection on the 1280x1024 LCD monitor that is connected, but on the serial
console I see the output pasted below.
The system does not respond to any input via the attached sun keyboard/mouse or
via ttyA after printing the last line in the output below.

Obviously, the NVRAM battery is dead, and I'm working on getting a replacement.
Does anyone have a good source in Germany? The chip says "M48T59Y-70PC1U".

Could the dead NVRAM battery explain the behavior described?

thanks,
Rob Urban
