[SPARCbook] Ultrabook OBP 3.1.8

[Joseph Spainhour]

2/02 is what I used on my ultrabook. Did not have any problems until I 
patched it to the latest level. Once this was done, I could not boot 
into 64 bit mode, but that was the only problem.

I can not help you with the wva software. I do not use it.
