What about having the OpenBoot source code for an EOL'ed sun4u USB based box (the sb2k would be nice). The best one apparently can get until this day is PROLL (http://people.redhat.com/zaitcev/linux/). PROLL is a limited sun4m OpenBoot.
The drawback of PROLL is that only a subset of old sun4m hardware is supported, and a forth emulator is not included. If the code was opensource, one might get a better understanding of what is required to implement USB-booting (which is cetainly not trivial). Just an idea. Is there an existing user demand for this? But it is probably an illusion to think, such a thing could legally ever be open sourced (many 3rd party devices in such a system). Plus it would help "BlueSwirl" from Qemu's sparc emulation target.
