Problem Description: 

The Sbus Expansion software 1.2 does not include recent updates.  The Sbus      
Expansion 1.2 files must be merged with more current files.  

Patch Installation Instructions: 

1) CHECK YOUR KERNEL ARCHITECTURE:

        % arch -k

	If your kernel architecture is not sun4m  then this
        patch is not appropriate to install onto your machine.

2) INSTALL THE SBUS EXPANSION SOFTWARE 1.2 IF IT HAS NOT ALREADY BEEN 
   INSTALLED. THIS PATCH DOES NOT INSTALL THE SBUS EXPANSION SOFTWARE 1.2.

WARNING:  Do not build or install a new kernel during the Sbus Expansion 
Software 1.2 installation as the machine may not boot afterwords.  

If a new kernel was built or installed during the SBus Expansion Software 1.2
installation and the system fails to boot, reboot the system with /vmunix.old.
The SBus Expansion Software 1.2 saves the old kernel in /vmunix.old during
installation.  
	
3) IF PATCH 101508 WAS INSTALLED BEFORE THE SBUS EXPANSION SOFTWARE 1.2, THE
PATCH 101508-06 OR HIGHER MUST BE REINSTALLED. IT IS ALSO RECOMMENDED THAT
SCSI PATCH 101443-02 OR HIGHER BE INSTALLED.

4) AS ROOT:

 It may be necessary to merge the following files. 

a) The /sys/sun4m/conf/files and /sys/sun4m/conf/files.pre_xbox may have
   to be merged. Do the following to verify differences

	# diff  /sys/sun4m/conf/files /sys/sun4m/conf/files.pre_xbox

   If different,

	# cat sun4m/files.xbox >> /sys/sun4m/conf/files.pre_xbox
	# mv /sys/sun4m/conf/files.pre_xbox /sys/sun4m/conf/files

b) The /sys/sun4m/conf/<YOUR_CONFIG_FILE> and /sys/sun4m/conf/GENERIC_XBOX
   may have to be merged. Do the following to verify differences.

	# diff /sys/sun4m/conf/<YOUR_CONFIG_FILE> /sys/sun4m/conf/GENERIC_XBOX

   If different,

	# cat sun4m/GENERIC.xbox >> /sys/sun4m/conf/<YOUR_CONFIG_FILE>

c) The /sys/sun/conf.c and /sys/sun/conf.c.pre_xbox may have to be merged.
   Do the following to verify differences.

	# diff /sys/sun/conf.c /sys/sun/conf.c.pre_xbox

   If different,you must merge the two files to create a version of conf.c
   that is their superset. THIS INSTRUCTION MAY BE REDUNDANT IF THE INSTRUCTIONS
   FOR APPLYING JUMBO KERNEL PATCH 101506-06 OR HIGHER HAVE BE FOLLOWED.

5) Rebuild the <YOUR_CONFIG_FILE>  kernel and reboot the system.
 
   Please refer to the System and Networking Administration Manual
   section on building and installing a custom kernel.
