This is the way sun intended > the hardware to work on sparc. Yep, that's the main point. Sun provides device parameters via openprom properties in lieu of existing mechanisms chip vendors usually use for this on other platforms such as NVRAM and the BIOS. They do this for just about every scsi, networking, and video chip. It works this way on PowerPC as well.
