Patch Installation Instructions: 
-------------------------------- 
For Solaris 2.0-2.6 releases, refer to the Install.info file and/or
the README within the patch for instructions on using the generic
'installpatch' and 'backoutpatch' scripts provided with each patch.
 
For Solaris 7 release, refer to the man pages for instructions on
using 'patchadd' and 'patchrm' scripts provided with Solaris.
Any other special or non-generic installation instructions should be
described below as special instructions.  The following example
installs a patch to a standalone machine:
 
       example# patchadd /var/spool/patch/104945-02
 
The following example removes a patch from a standalone system:
 
       example# patchrm 104945-02
 
For additional examples please see the appropriate man pages.


Special Install Instructions: 
----------------------------- 
   This patch can also be applied to the Miniroot, which is located
   in the Boot directory on Net Install servers and Boot servers.
   It needs to be patched in both locations.  Please note that
   a patched Net Install server will create patched Boot servers.  In
   other words, if you patch a Net Install server, and subsequently
   make a Boot server from it using the 'setup_install_server'
   command, the newly-created Boot server will incorporate the patch
   applied to the Net Install server.
 
   Use 'installpatch -C' for this patch, rather than the generic invocation
   described in Install.info, Item #2.
 
   Example:
 
       # patchadd -C <path_to_image>/Tools/Boot .
