Yeah - reading the source code of QEMU I found the structure of the NVRAM - 

EVEN BETTER there was a WEB page with a good description of the various NVRAMs 
on Sun machines up to Ultra1. Yes, there "was".  

FORTUNATELY via archive.org, that page can be accessed - Tadaaaaaaaa- here it 
is:

HOT: As I suspected: The first byte of the hostID in some systems defines the 
machine type. 

PERFECT: There are also commands given to read/write the NVRAM from the 
firmware.

Thanks Ethan, the hint to check the emulation was great!
