Thanks, but I think Solaris 2.5 is much too new for the Sparcbook 2 (and
I believe that the stock Sun versions of earlier versions (like SunOS
4.1.3) are incompatible as well -- it's been awhile since I last tried
but I don't think the stock kernel will boot).
If anyone knows differently, let me know...
Thanks,
Josh

get round to putting online at some point soon. Keep pestering in the
meantime - feel free to send me private mail.
