In general, you should not need to have the Sun firmware in your

Not true if you boot from the SOC/SOCAL disks, OBP will load it's
own firmware which is very slow and has tons of debugging enabled
in it.
Oook - that is EVIL. We really do not want to taint the kernel with Sun's FCode.
I think we could work around this, the OBP is all in FORTH so we should be able to replace the offending upload function with a one line null function in nvramrc. Would this work ?.
Caveat - this theory comes from the decaying memory of a 60 year old Fortran hacker and needs to be properly researched in the OBP documentation. Significant ForthHackery maybe required.
