Thanks to:

Pete Cameron <cameron@xylint.co.uk>
nahum@minix.hellnet.org (Nahum Rubinstein)
dougj@iplab.health.ufl.edu (Doug Jones)
poffen@sj.ate.slb.com (Russ Poffenberger)
sjf@mod.dsto.gov.au (Stephen Fitzgerald)

I recieved conflicting information on this one:

Nahum said to use 'b sd(0,6,5)' with the standard 4.1.3 CD-ROM

Doug said he'd installed on 4e's with 'b (,30,1)'

Russ said that 4.1e was the last release of 4.1 for these
beasts (i.e., 4.1.2 and 4.1.3 do *not* support them). My
4.1e tapes are dated 4/18/91. Russ added that Solaris 2.2 supports
them.

Sun Tech Support confirmed Russ's statement and indicated that
the standard Solaris 2.2 CD-ROM includes 4e architecture support
and that there is no special boot syntax needed.
