My recollection is that '90s SparcStations had a battery-backed memory
containing the MAC address.  When the battery wore out, the machine
would fail to boot because the address was either all ones or all zeros.
I recall setting the MAC address in that memory using Forth from the
boot prompt.  Ah, the good old days!
