The Good: Please have a look at the Sun NVRAM FAQ. This page helped me to replace the NVRAM chip (SparcStation 2) and most important to reprogram the new one. Now I know how to change the Ethernet MAC to whatever I like :-) May be you find something useful there or the author can help you. The Bad: I can't exactly remember the URL. If I'm right it was something like squirrel.com and the page was called "Sun Host ID FAQ" or something like that. av.com or google.com should know this page...
