Can't say about the SS1, but certainly doable for later systems
like the Ultra1 I did the other day. http://docs.sun.com is a very
handy site. I searched for OBP I think and soon found the page I
needed.
Actually, now I think of it, you'll likely need a new ROM for your
SS1, since I did for my SS20 to handle hypersparc cpu's.
I recall that Ultra 1 machines were the first Sun machines
with flash PROMs.
