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 7-10 releases, 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:
-----------------------------
 
NOTE 1:  In order to get the fixes contained in this patch, this patch must be applied
         to the Miniroot, which is located in the Boot directory on Net Install servers
         and Boot servers.
 
         The Miniroot needs to be patched on the Net Install server and on all Boot
         servers that have already been created from the Net Install server.
 
         Please also 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 by using the 'setup_install_server' command, the
         newly-created Boot server will incorporate the patch applied to the Net Install
         server.
 
         Use 'patchadd -C' for this patch, rather than the generic invocation.
 
         Example:
 
                  # patchadd -C <path_to_miniroot> <patchid>
 
         Remove the Miniroot patch using something similar to:
 
                  # patchrm -C <path_to_miniroot>  <patchid>
 
         where path_to_miniroot is <top_of_image_tree>/Solaris_<9,10,...>/Tools/Boot
 
NOTE 2:  In order to get the complete fix for bugid 6178185 (Mirrored root during 
         jumpstart is mounted on one side of a mirror), please also install the 
         following patch:
 
         119146-02 (or greater)  /usr/snadm/lib patch
 
NOTE 3:  In order to get the complete fix for bugid 4716085 (sysid.net: remove -trailers
         flag from ifconfig statement -- not supported), please also install the following 
         patches:
 
         120200-01 (or greater)   sysidtool Patch
         119082-05 (or greater)   CD-ROM Install Boot Image Patch
 
NOTE 4:  In order to get the complete fix for bugid 4789211 (flash install fails when the
         archive is created using the -E option), please also install the following patch:
 
         119146-03 (or greater)  /usr/snadm/lib patch
