Thanks to all who wrote.

"prtconf -V" shows Open Boot Prom revision, which is not quite what
I wanted. Got a value of "OBP 3.1.1 1996/03/08 14:20" on my system.

Stop-A on the console, followed by "banner" then "go" to resume gives
the ROM revision, 2.28, which is what I was really after. Maybe I
didn't ask the correct question.

This is the value which, for example, has to be at least 2.25 to be
able to use Ross HyperSPARC modules in a SPARC 20.

Other people mentioned the "sysinfo" package as something which might
give this information. It would be nice to think that there's some
way of getting it without hanging the system.
