[SunRescue] Solaris for PPC?

[Steve Hatle]

FWIW, depending on the availability of Sun patches, I would rather have
Solaris 2.5.1 running that RedHat. Apologies to the Linux folks out there-
I'm not trying to start a religious war.  .  .<grin>

FWIW Solaris PPC only came out for Solaris 2.5.1. I don't think it ran on
the powerstack boxes but because they were built so generically (OFW, etc)
it very-well could run on there. I do remember reading that it did run on
the IBM Thinkpad 850s and 860s (the powerpc/RS6k thinkpads.)
