We do not support the sun4d architecture, which is quite different
from most of the others we do support, so no SPARCcenter 2000 or
SPARCserver 1000. The SPARCcluster is more of a software product. I
believe it's simply a re-badged SPARCcenter 2000, but I could be
wrong. You really need to find out what the underlying hardware is.

Ultra 2 is not supported yet. At least not until there's an `fas'
driver. I don't think you want to put the SPARC V9 machines in the
same list since it's pretty much a different architecture and
completely different kernel.
