For the older AT90Sxxx (and ATmega130, IMHO) chips, you're at a loss.
You have to reprogram your EEPROM after each chip erase.

For the newer ATmega chips, there's a fuse that says whether a chip
erase should also erase the EEPROM (EESAVE).  The default is so that
it's backwards compatible (EESAVE is not set).
