Just for reference: it worked beautifully. If anyone ever will get into
the same situation with an Ultra-2, the above FAQ works well, even though
the machine isn't explicitly listed. You don't have to care about the
machine type, that's set during set-defaults or hard-wired.

Oh, and on my old NVRAM chip, the last 3 bytes of the ethernet address
were printed on top of it, just below the barcode. This happens to
be the last three bytes of the hostid as well, I think.

Thanks to all,
Uli
(Anyone need a spare NVRAM chip in Germany? I bought a pair of them, because
this was the only available package size ;-)
