My problem turned out not to be bad cache DRAM, but I think the PRAM battery just needed to be taken out and then reseated. I couldn't zap the PRAM from the keyboard, so apparently this did the equivalent. I was on my way to buy a new battery when it occurred to me that this old one should be checked. Turns out the voltage was as good as a brand new battery, so I went back home, popped it in, and VOILA - the computer booted up normally (it just forgot what time it is).
Glad I learned here about other things I can try if this ever happens again. (Of course, that'll never happen! :-) Thanks for all your help, folks.
