3.1 Hardware RequirementsTable3-1 lists systems supported under the Solaris 1.x software versions for
Sun -4m architectures:
Note – The SunFastEthernet is not supported on the SBus Expansion
Subsystem under Solaris 1.x.
3.2 Preparing for SoftwareInstallationBefore loading the SunFastEthernet software:
•Ensure that the system is running SunOS Version4.1.3 or later. Use the
uname command with the -r argument to determine your SunOS version as
shown in the following example:
•Verifythat the /export/exec directory contains a symbolic link from
/export/exec/sun4 to the /usr directory on your machine. The link allows the
script to place the SunFastEthernet files in your /usr rather than your / (root)
partition.
