[SPARCbook] Solaris 2.7 and patches.

[Joseph Spainhour]

I am not sure if this has been posted before or not, but here goes.

If you want to bring your solaris 7 version up to the latest patch release,
Download the latest patch cluster and follow these simple instruction.

1. Unzip the patch cluster.
2. Copy /kernel/misc/pcalloc to /kernel/misc/pcalloc.orig
3. Install the patch cluster.
4. Reboot.
5. Add the video driver to the system.
6. Copy /kernel/misc/pcalloc.orig to /kernel/misc/pcalloc
7. Reboot.

i.e

1. unzip 7_Recommended.zip
2. cp /kernel/misc/pcalloc /kernel/misc/pcalloc.orig
3. cd 7_Recommended;./install_cluster
4. reboot
5. add_drv p9100
6. cp /kernel/misc/pcalloc.orig /kernel/misc/pcalloc
7. reboot

Once completed, you should have a fully functional sparcbook that has the 
latest kernel installed.

Please note that the pcalloc module was removed from the kernel by patch 
106541-22. I am not sure why it was removed, but it is needed for the 
ts102 pcmcia bridge driver to function. If you do not use the pcmcia
bus, I suggest you just remove the ts102 driver (i.e rem_drv ts102)
and skip steps 2 and 6.

Also note that I am using a 3000XT, so your results may vary.
