  Great stuff if the 3B2 Battery is good. If the battery dies NVRAM
falls back to a know state (Passwd of mcp, Hostname of unix, debug mode off,
etc...). To eliminate your nodename from reverting to unix build it
in the kernel. That is edit /etc/master.d/kernel and change the 2 
occurances of unix (just above the version numbers) to your node name.
then cd /boot; mkboot -k KERNEL;touch /etc/system;init 6. Presto chango
hocus pocus. 
 On the subject of batteries any 3.6 volt lithium battery will do. I 
found a source here in Toronto for 2 bucks a battery, thats about 
25 cents American :-)
