If you use eeprom -i, it ignores the "checksum error" and does what you
tell it, at least on our 490's. (The first problem may have something to
do with /usr/kvm). I called Sun about this -- they know there's an error
in the prom, but they have no fixes or plans for fixes (that they're
willing to announce.)
