I noticed pk has been making some changes to the sun4 related
	   code recently - I wonder if anyone has tried current on a 4/110?

I have been trying the kernels from the snapshots on my 4/110 with little
real success.  The latest problems seem to be related to some hang right
before the devices are probed on the sw buss, although if I remove all
scsi devices, it still hangs.  I never get to a shell prompt of any sort.

It will be a couple of weeks before I can try anything further in this
realm.  I'v been emailing pk for a while on this entire issue.
