means that content in your NVRAM is corrupted. You can reset the contents of
your NVRAM by :

> - boot the machine with PF8 or 8 withing icones are displayed
> => get a prompt:>
> - type "dev /pci/isa/nvram" and <enter>
> - type "wipe-nvram" and <enter>
> - power off the machine then on
>
At the first reboot your F40 might display the LED code that it's
NVRAM-battery is low.

HTH,
Christian
