We have a model 135 which in which we think we put incorrect values into the
iplsource NVRAM, and as a result it won't boot from the hard disk.  So, we
tried use an SAUTIL diskette to change the values, but it doesn't seem to
work.  An IBM RT Diagnostics diskette boots fine (all diagnostics check out),
as does the miniroot diskette; the SAUTIL diskette, however, runs along for
a little bit and then stops with a blinking "89" showing on the front panel.

The SAUTIL disk -does- work on a model 125, so the diskette would appear to be
OK.  We've also tried resetting the nvram by leaving the battery unplugged for
over 30 minutes, still no-go.  Can anyone help?
