Correct.  The T1/200 has an "i2c" node.  This goes back to my comment about
the driver needing to understand the OBP nodes associated with environmental
monitoring.

Looking at the prtconf output from the T1/200 and the SB-1000 (for which the
bbc_envctrl driver was written), it is clear no current driver will support
this environmental monitoring implementation.  However, if you simply want the
CPU temperature you should be able to use the LOM console to retrieve this
information, independent of the host OS (though Solaris may be required for
initial LOM configuration).  For anything more, you'll likely have to wait
until a developer gets a hold of the hardware and decides to take a try.

I want it from Debian userland, not the LOM console.  Are "SUNW,lomh"
and "lomp" relevant?  Is the information likely to be accessed through
pmu/i2c/temperature ?
