Just as a point of information: the boot firmware is reasonably
smart, so you can abbreviate the path by omitting the address
specifcation when there is only one of a given device, e.g. instead of
/iommu@0,10000000/sbus@0,10001000/espdma@4,8400000/esp@4,8800000/sd@3,0:h
you could use:
/iommu/sbus/espdma/esp/sd@3,0:h
so long as your Sun only has one iommu, one sbus, one espdma on the
sbus, etc. You only need the address information when you need to
distinguish between two or more of a given device, at a given point
in the path.
