  Oh, yeah, no problem. That is how I partitioned the drive... This
isn't new to me: I used to have a 3/160 (named hachiman: Japanese god
of war: a 3/160 dropping from the sky would be pretty dangerous :-)
on which I was hacking the ie drive two years ago... The sparc guys
did ie() before me. 
  3/60s have le()s..

  Transporting equipement has never been fun... I thought you had a
method to boot the sparc already?
