Updating OBP without Solaris



I've been "playing" over the last couple of days with booting Sun's Standalone
Flash PROM Update Utility over the network using rarp and tftp, to good effect.

As a general question, does anybody know whether the OS can check the state of
the write protect/enable jumper (and/or front panel keyswitch as appropriate)
for security purposes?
