I was having a problem whereby I could not reset the NVRAM (lost RSC
password) . The system was not flashing the maintenance LED during boot for
me to use the power button pressing method (i.e. press it twice during the
flashing). 

Sun have told me this is a system board failure which prevents normal OBP
operation. 
Strangely, this is the second board which has failed during power-off in
this host!

Thanks to John England and Joe Fletcher for taking the time to respond. 
There was mention of an OBP issue in a particular version which prevented
the double power button press from working. 

Andy.
