Wallstreet NVRAM problem…

[galgot]

Hi,

I have a Wallstreet 250Mhz with apparently seems to be a corrupted NVRAM problem.
It boots fine on MacOS 8.1, but no way to make it boot on Mac OSX 1.2 Server. I can go up to the System Utility chooser at startup to choose OSX 1.2, but then I get a screen with a broken folder :

If I choose to boot in OpenFirmware from the System Utility, then I get :
fatal error occured. "no open firmware nvram partition found
Message…
 
Strange things , the Wally just doesn’t want to boot in OF, and doesn’t want to zap the PRAM too. Only time when I can zap PRAM is after resetting PMU, but then it doesn’t fix the problem. Note I’ve replaced the PRAM battery.
 
Any tips ?

Try setting your date to some time in the year 2000 or 2001 and see if that works.

Thanks for the tip. But nope... :-/ I've set the date to 2000 in OS 8.1. Still doesn't want OF or OS X 1.2 .

You've had that problem before ?
