I received 8 replies to my post, most of them pointing to a bad simm in
slot 0. Many people also mentioned testing further by doing the
following:
Hang a serial terminal of some type off of ttya, then try the boot.
I did so, and the output points to a bad CPU board. As an added bonus,
I took the advice of Frode Stromsvag and setenv diag-switch? to true
in the ID PROM on a working machine, then re-installed the chip in the
afflicted board and was treated to many, many interesting diagnostic
messages as it was trying to boot.
