It generally means you need to replace the IDPROM (it's the DIP chip with
the yellow label and barcode on it); the battery's dead.  Before you do
that, you might want to read the NVRAM HOSTID FAQ.  I can't remeber the
exact URL; it's on www.squirrel.com somwhere.  But a Google search on
"nvram hostid faq" will return it as the first hit.
