The message
eeprom: software area checksum wrong
comes from the fact the checksum _is_ wrong, probably because memory size
has changed and the eeprom not updated correctly. eeprom -c fixes this.
I suspect the reason eeprom doesn't work on most your machines is because
you never put it in the kernal! from the GENERIC sun4c config file:
#
# The "open EEPROM" pseudo-device is required to support the
# eeprom command.
#
pseudo-device openeepr # onboard configuration NVRAM
