Steps I took did not work, is there a write-protect?
I did the steps as outlined below, but nothing changed.Does anyone know if on the SPARC Ultra 60 if it has an NVRAM write protect that needs to be changed?
Frank
The command to change each byte of the NVRAM is:
You must first go to the OpenBoot monitor:
>From the OpenBoot monitor "ok" prompt you can view the IDPROM
data by typing .idprom
To change a byte use : <new value> < byte nr> mkp
For example, to change the hostid to 55a1b3c3 you need to:
ok 1 55 mkp
ok c a1 mkp
ok d b3 mkp
ok e c5 mkp
Now the hostid is changed but the checksum is wrong. This is
recalculated
and written to location f with the command:
ok 0 f 0 do i idprom@ xor loop f mkp

NAME
passage - a game about the passage through life
SYNOPSIS
passage
DESCRIPTION
Passage is a video game written by Jason Rohrer about navigating the maze that is life and the obstacles, rewards, disappointments, chal-
lenges, relationships and the inevitable departure that is part of the adventure of life.
Passage is an art game. As a result, some people love it and some people hate it. Check out the links to places it has been discussed on
the website for some of the reactions.
The mechanics of the game are fairly simple. Your "score" is related to two things; exploration and treasure. Treasure pieces are repre-
sented by blue stars that you find in the treasure chests scattered about the maze of life's challenges. Some chests will be empty, so you
must learn which sequence of gems on the front of the chests means treasure is inside. You have the option to team up with a spouse. If
you do, exploring life will be more rewarding but some treasure will no longer be reachable. As in life, your spouse will die and that
death will slow you down. In the end, you will die alone after your 5 minutes is up.
The most interesting part about this game is the emotions it evokes within the player of the game. The ultra-low-res pixel art helps here,
by not being too distracting and by leaving plenty room for viewer interpretation.
The followup to Passage is Gravitation, another art game by Jason Rohrer.
USAGE
Passage has no command-line options.
The arrow keys move the player around.
The Esc key is used to quit the game.
The game resolution and use of fullscreen or a window can be set by editing the files in /etc/passage.
