        The culprit was a bad mbus module. After making sure the jumpers were
set correctly on the motherboard and double checking my prom level, I
pulled all the RAM from the machine except for one stick and tried each
mbus module individually. One of them booted up fine, the other one kept
giving the above error. Just to make sure it was the mbus module, I took
down one of my functional Sparc 10's and swapped it's mbus module with
the one in question. Sure enough it wouldn't boot either. Thanks again
for all the help sent to me!
