That was implemented as
http://www.openfirmware.org/ (found in Suns,
Macs, etc).
The format is Fcode; it's actually a brilliant idea that of course was
of more pressing importance when the hardware market was actually
heterogeneous.
Finding anything about this is a little difficult--lots of 404s, etc.
when trying to search.
What was the last product that used Open Firmware? Most of this
stuff seems to be from the mid '90s.
