In real Sun systems, offsets onto EBus are hard-coded into the circuitry. 
E.g., a 16550 chip will be at offset x003f8. Somewhere in the upper bits (I 
think where I have the "x") will be a select value which is decoded to provide 
a select pin for the particular chip.

In answer to your basic question, the EBus address values are provided to 
firmware by the hardware designers.

I would generally suggest steering clear of the Netra systems - they are Telco 
modifications of more basic systems. Going with a netra may cause you to deal 
with additional stuff you don't care about.
