You are right, I've found it under the code you provided.
Alas, it seems I have access just to Software patches, not firmware :-/
I'm getting the hold of Oracle Support quite slowly - I need a Systems contract asset to get to firmware patches? In layman's terms - what would I need to purchase to get this? Is it even posssible for an individual? And I guess it would cost me more than the six Suns altogether...
I haven't contacted anyone from the Oracle support with this directly - is it worth a try at least? Or should I accept the fact the BIOS versions on these machines are final? :-(

I was clicking through the support site and Oracle web - if I get it, I need for instance premium support for Solaris 11 ($1000/yr) to get to the firmware - not that in makes much sense to me to be honest - which is almost the same price I paid for all of my machines, as I did suspect - but if I got this support plan, I could install Solaris 11 and get access to the repos and patches as well, right? - but I'm not sure if for just one or I could use it on all of them? Well, it's a lot of money for me, but I'll probably better start saving then...
