[SunHELP] Re: cpu swap

[Bob Ababurko]

Now here is a different situation.  What can one do if they have a disk 
that was in a once working Ultra 60 and want to(ideally) use it in an 
Ultra2.  Will this be as simple as placing the disk in the new 
machine(Ultra2) and booting, or possibly boot -r or is this a dream?

thanks,
bob
