Meanwhile I got a Sparcbook 1 technical reference manual.
Even the 1 version does have a battery backed sram e.g. responsible for the RTC using a
MK48T02.
Maybe the same or similar within the SB 2.
Suspect is a dead battery and corrupt sram.

Isn't there a command in OpenFirmware to reset that? Or to set things like
MAC address that might 'fix' this before the kernel gets a chance to freak
out...
Tadpole SPARCBook prior to generation 3 do not use OpenFirmware and
hardly store anything in battery-backed memory.
