How to extract PROM content to bin file?

RE: How to extract PROM content to bin file?
Depending on the model of SparcBook you have, the OpenBoot PROM may be mapped at different locations in physical or kernel memory.
I believe there is a "SparcBook 1 Technical Reference" online which may include the maps.
The file /dev/mem is a window into physical memory and /dev/kmem into kernel virtual memory. It's possible to use dd(1) to extract data from these memories using the correct flags and permissions.
