Fellow SPARC'ers,
I have a nice Ultra-1 here that I'd like to load either NetBSD or Solaris=
on. Unfortunately, it appears to have down-rev firmware that does not=
support 64-bit operation.
I have attempted (and failed) to use the Solaris FLASH update CD. For=
whatever reason, I cannot boot from it as the instructions say to do.
Is there another way? I need to bring the firmware to 3.11.1 at least.
Thanks much.
