Howdy,

   I just overhauled the hardware information in the INSTALL notes for 1.5.
   Could a bunch of you check this over to make sure it's right?  I based it
   on posts to port-sparc and my shaky interpretation of the kernel source.

   In particular, I'm not sure about any of the sun4 stuff.

   Thanks,

	      o   sun4 (e.g. the 4/100, 4/200, 4/300, and 4/400)

[snip]

	      o   sun4 video (VME card, built-in, or P4 card (supported only on
		  4/100 and 4/300 series machines))
		  -   bwtwo, cgtwo (VME), cgfour, cgsix, and cgeight

[snip]

	      o   Network adapters
		  -   ie (10Mbps Intel 82586 ethernet, built-in (4/100 and 4/200,
		      may not be working properly on 4/400) and VME card)

[snip]

		  -   sw (5MB/s NCR 5380 SCSI controller, built-in on 4/110
		      (polled DMA only))


Some mention that the support for the 4/110 seems to be a little stale
might be in order.

I have had a devil of a time getting my 4/110 to do much of anything
useful lately.  The current problem appears to be in the ie driver or
maybe with the sparcvme stuff.  When a newer kernel boots, I get:

ie_vme_match: need 2 ranges

This is from the ie driver using 1.4Y and a 1.5_ALPHA snapshot.  Before
that, in the 1.4C era, the sw driver wouldn't work [there is a PR out on
that].

I am also not sure the latest boot.net worked, either, but I don't recall
exactly.

Technically, the 4/110 may not actually need the sparcvme stuff anyway,
but I have not had much time to compile up a kernel without it.
