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:  If you're planning to set up Zones on this system, please make
         sure to install the following patch which fixes bugid 6216195
         (zone installation confused by UPDATE=yes in pkginfo(4) file.)
 
         119254-06 (or greater)  Install and Patch Utilities Patch
 
NOTE 2:  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
