This is fine for now. I have a new NVRAM, but I just
haven't put it in yet. Laziness. And the machine is
buried.

Yes, this was a very astute suggestion. I forgot to
set the hostid, which is necessary for netbooting. In
my particular case, I needed to do:
51 1 mkp
Where 51 is the hostid for an SS1. The NVRAM/HostID
FAQ is our friend.
Thanks!
