Hmmm, I have Solaris 2.5.1, and I tried multiple times to install it
on my sparcbook, but i can't get the save/resume feature to work,
whatever I try. (restoring the old stuff with ufsrestore, tar, just plain copy
over NFS, no luck until now)

Is there some magic trick involved, or do I need the tadpole Solaris
CDs? Or is there anybody who has the tadpole patches and NCE2 for
2.5.1, and wants to get rid of it?
