Hi,
does anyone know if it's possible to read the SPARC boot roms
from a machine running SunOS? The reason I ask is that I need to
upgrade to a newer version of boot roms in my 630MP in order to use
HyperSPARC modules. I have access to another 630MP that has the correct
version so I figured if I could read the image from it, then I could burn
a new set from that image. Does anyone know if this is possible?
Could it be as simple as just reading the data from the correct offset
within /dev/kmem?
