- Presumably you don't mean by the above that the change was to add MP
- support to the kernel, 'cuz that *wasn't* one of the reasons - huge
- chunks of the Solaris 1.x kernel don't particularly look like the BSD
- kernel (including the MP support in 1.0.1 and 1.1), and, from what
- people I know at SunSoft say, huge chunks of the Solaris 2.x kernel
- don't particularly look like the SVR4 kernel (I don't think their MP
- support is the same as the USL MP support).
