- This is the description of the patch you need for 4.1.1. It does not
- seem that you can make 4.1 use 1 GB disks.
-
- And I can't resist to repeat:
-
- Solaris 1.x contains SunOS 4.1.y (BSD based)
- Solaris 2.x contains SunOS 5.x (SVR4 based)
-
- Solaris 1.0 contains SunOS 4.1.1, 1.0.1 contains 4.1.2,
- and 1.1 contains 4.1.3.
