Hi,

  I asked:

  The answer is document in the eeprom(8S) man page.

  To setup the PROM so that the only commands available at the monitor prompt
are BOOT and CONTINUE, use:

    eeprom security-mode=command

  You are prompted for a password which is then used to control access to
other EEPROM commands.

  Thanks to:

                        looking for! ;-)

Dave.
