Today the new NVRAM I bought off eBay for my SS2 arrived. So, I slap
it into the machine and boot it up:

The memory thing does not surprise me since I honestly do not know
anymore what it has inside it. Of course, it would be nice to know what
the machine is trying to tell me. Ex: I would think the PADDR means
there is a problem with one of the SIMMs.

This is as far as it goes. I had the terminal window running for 2
hours and so far no sign of life. Should I wait longer? Is there
anything wrong? What should I do?
