That's what I'm seeing on my 670mp with 4 CPUs (looks like we have
identical machines). I was wondering if it's a hw issue with some of
the 601/605 modules; certain versions were known to run SunOS 4.1.x,
but not Solaris. I know that this applies to my machine, it never
ran Solaris for that reason back when it was in service at the U.
as a fileserver.
