Hardware Requirements:

Any sun4u or sun4v box (except those based on UltraSPARC-I at this
time)
.

.
UltraSPARC-I support may be revived in an upcoming release. 

oh well...

supposedly the u1e is enough like the u2 to boot a u2 kernel, so if
you just play footsie with the boot links so that the installer thinks
your machine -is- a u2, you can install regular s10.  like apple with
osx, the installer blocks platforms it actually can run on...
