prompt screen each time. Do the same from either OSX or OS9 and I have to zap the PRAM before the prompt returns. Is there a command to print out the contents of the PRAM? Seems to me that it is the thing that is corrupted and not the nvram or OF. I read somewhere today that the disk and partition info is what is held in the PRAM, if only I could read the contents of it.
OK, if you're talking PRAM now, older machines (6400 era anyway) had a CUDA switch that would clear the PRAM totally. In fact not hitting the switch when adding hardware could cause strange results.
You should be able to do the same thing on any mac with PRAM even if you can't find said switch by pulling the power and the backup battery and waiting for (some period of time, perhaps hours) for capacitors to drain etc. and things to reset.
It would then get rebuilt completely after querying hardware at boot.
