- To get the Ethernet port to work, you must enable setenv tpe-link-test? true
- The NVRAM chip's battery has been replaced similar to the image in this reddit post
- if it keeps trying to boot from network, try pressing STOP and A at the same time, and to fix that, at the "ok" prompt type "setenv boot-device disk" and "setenv diag-device disk" and "setenv tpe-link-test? true" and then "nvstore"
- at "ok" prompt, type

root
sudo*room
- once its booted up, open a terminal and type

- /netup is just this:
ifconfig le0 plumb
ifconfig le0 100.64.64.37/22
ifconfig le0 up
route add default 100.64.64.1
- we the following is in /etc/resolv.conf
domain jackpumpkin
nameserver 8.8.8.8
nameserver 8.8.4.4
- and did this
cp /etc/nsswitch.dns /etc/nsswitch.conf
maybe this will help make these settings automatic?
echo jackpumpkin > /etc/hostname.leo
had to do this because the eeprom battery was dead

- The actual last three bytes of the MAC address are on a sticker on the NVRAM chip and should be entered in the above instructions, both places in the instructions above must match!
- then after that, it didn't come up to the "ok" prompt anymore so I had to
