[rescue] Sun Ultra 2 SCSI issues

[Curtis H. Wilbar Jr.]

My understanding is that post SunOS 4.X it is not an issue.
That and changes in the OBPs make it less of an issue.

I don't remember the details, but unless your going to be
using SunOS 4.X, 512 byte block mode is not required.

Someone correct me if I'm wrong here...
