That won't help - I said I was unclear about the electrical side, but I
can say for sure that if you want to run Solaris with 256Mb of RAM, you'll
need the changes that were made to the S3000 OBP and the kernel/boot
loader or the RAM won't be there for you (and Save & Resume will not
function either).

Of course, if you're running NetBSD then all bets are off (but I still say
that OBP will mis-report 256Mb of RAM, which may or may not be a problem
depending on how much notice *BSD takes of OBP's mappings).
