Hello.
I have Sun Fire V890 with history story "it should work" and without any HDD. Everithing inside doors looks Ok, but when i try to start it up system started ~2 minutes "disco" with leds and after all that halted with 2 blinking leds - "system emergency" and "ready to swap" (what need to swap?).
I don't have graphic card for that system, and no SUN type-6 keyboard.
In SUN manuals is:
"Once the maintenance LED starts to flash rapidly, immediately press the Power button twice (similar to double-clicking a mouse, but leave a short gap of around 1 second between presses, to have the action reliably registered.) The actual time when you do the double press of the power button is the point in POST when the maintenance LED (wrench light) rapidly flashes."
In all that startup POST "disco" i don't understand, what is moment when to push the button. I tried for an hour, no positive results. But when i receive that system, one time mysticaly i pressed that combination and system "beeped" - looks like started up, but i in can't rememmer how exactly did i achieve it.
Ah, yes - my "monitor" is Thinkpad wth Minicom and RS232 nullmodem cable to SUN service port (not RSC) (Thinkpad port works Ok, 9600/8N1, checked). On SUN startup Minicom shows dot's ".......", and some "trash", but nothing what may be "Ok" from SUN.
So - how i can reset NVRAM?
