Just wanted to document this. On boot I got the following on a nextstation color turbo:

Testing FPU, SCC, SCSI, Enet, RTC
System test failed: error code 91

The system would continue to boot, however would hang on shutdown.

Searching the old newsgroups brought up the following description:

Real-Time Clock Tests
Error Code        Meaning
       91        RTC didn't tick after 0.3 seconds.

In my case it turned out that the battery connection needed to be reflowed.
