I read something on a Sun-related newsgroup about someone bending out a pin on an EEPROM, and then powercycling the machine, as a last resort. This was critisized by some other guy, since it broke 3 out of 4 chips or so, and a trick was explained. A screwdriver was used to short-circuit the chip while powering up. I mention this because I remember something about it, and sincerely hope it will not be necesary! On the Sun-related Usenet groups there is a couple of guys who know the exact procedure.
