I downloaded Rick Kelly's copy a while back and installed it on a spare
SPARCclassic I had lying around. No problems other than the weird serial

7-bit even parity otherwise the console would get corrupted after the
kernel booted and prompted for the installation type. Take a look at

Nice to get a flashback to 1994 occasionally :)
