Open Firmware 2.0 / Cannot start-up?

ppc

Registered
I had a PowerBase 180 (603ev) set-up with OpenFirmware to a PowerBook 1400cs, through the modem port(s). I disabled the auto-boot and transferred control to the keyboard and graphics card. I was able to use OF with just that 180 machine.

In trying out installing other systems, I changed 'real-base' and 'load-base' to some other characters. Everything was alright.
Then, when I tried changing 'real-base' back to -1 as default, I wasn't allowed to change it to -1. (Used: setenv real-base -1) Some error message occurred. I was able to make 'load-base' 4000 again, though. I changed real-base to 1, instead, and 'reset-all'.

Now, nothing happens when I turn on the machine.
I cannot type with the keyboard or even startup from a cd.
I tried resetting pram, removing the battery and even memory.
The machine doesn't do anything anymore! Black screen/no sound.
I'd like to be able to use it again. ::love::
Any suggestions/comments?
