- I was able to use a Sparcstation running 4.1.2 to build
- a boot disk for a Sun 3 running 4.1.1_U1. It works just fine.
- The only thing to be aware of is to use the correct boot block
- if the disk is going to be a boot disk for the 4.1.1 system.
- The bits in the super block mentioned earlier didn't seem to
- make any difference. The 4.1.1_U1 system has been running fine
- for a couple of months now.
