- Kind of makes *me* suspicious that it might *almost* work, but fail at
- times, so that Sun wouldn't want their field engineers trying to "help"
- customers who want 4.1.x on Tsunami machines by booting or loading it
- and then having the machines fail and having to pick up the pieces....
-
- Feel free to try it (hint: you won't have any luck whatsoever with a
- Sun-4c kernel, as the Tsunami machines are Sun-4m's), but don't feel
- free to report bugs to Sun if you actually hope they'll do something
- about them....
