[SunHELP] Small RAID array setup

[Tige D. Chastain]

Solaris 9 only supports the UltraSPARC processor.  You mentioned
you were using a SPARC classic, which is not an UltraSPARC processor.

I believe Solaris 8 is the terminal release for that architecture.

I have the same problem with both of my SPARCStation 10s.
