First,  I would get the big eeprom-based syslog-like message while I was
in sunview.  Needless to say, this is *very* irritating.  I even had a
console window up, and the message was printed there as well.  (It was a
stock "machine su: id on /dev/whatever" message saying that I had just
gone to root.)

Then, I started getting this message occasionally, even if I hadn't gone
to root in hours.

Painful.   Any suggestions?
