[rescue] SunPCi software WAS::::Re: More basement cleaning

[Malte Dehling]

The user's guide is available here:
http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E19957-01/805-2933-10/805-2933-10.pdf
It mentions a SunPC 4.2 cdrom with a sunpc_install command.  Should work
under Solaris 2.3, 2.4, 2.5, 2.6 according to this document.  I read
somewhere on the net it works with Solaris 7.
The package name is SUNWsunpc .
