[SunHELP] 18GB disk in SPARC5

[Fletcher, Joe]

Nice one. I had vague doubts about OBP limitations on the old boxes though
IIRC the limits are only on boot partition sizes. 

Thanks also to Antony Gabriel who has mentioned a possible converter such
that I could use the drive in the AS500/500.

Should work fine as long as it fits in physically.
