I Recently asked the following question: |Hello SunLand. A simple question. Does the SunCD ROM media contain the |SunOS4.1 68020 (3/50, 3/60) binaries or only 68030 (3/80) binaries (any |difference really?). Please E-mail and I will post response. Thanks in |advance, Ariel. The answer in short is yes. Both are included. Here are the answers I received with some more info. Thanks to all who answered. Ariel. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- X-From: Paul Graham <pjg@acsu.buffalo.edu> This CD_ROM contains the SunOS 4.1 binaries for Sun-3(TM), Sun-3x, Sun-4c and most Sun-4(TM) systesms; and the SunOS 4.1 PSR A binaries for SPARCserver(TM) 390, Sparcserver 470, and SPARCserver 490. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- X-From: ekrell@ulysses.att.com The SunCD can only be booted from a SPARC machine (sun4 or sun4c architecture). It contains binaries for sun3 and sun3x architectures but you need a SPARC to boot off that CD. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- X-From: scott%@rc.honeywell.com (Rich Scott) It's my understanding that the SunCD contains binaries for *all * s/w architectures (Sun-3x vs. Sun-3, and Sun-4x, etc.) on all h/w architectures (SPARC, mc68020, i386). So, one CD should be all you need. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: jms@tardis.Tymnet.COM (Joe Smith) The following files are different between the Sun-3 (68020) and Sun-3x (68030) systems. The Sun-3 uses Sun's custom MMU, the Sun-3x uses Motorola's on-chip MMU. The differences are in programs that know how to create or follow page map entries. These files (and stuff in /usr/share/sys/sun3x/{conf,OBJ}) are the ONLY differences between the Sun-3 and Sun-3x releases. /export/exec/kvm/sun3-40: boot/ ldconfig* mc68020@ sparc@ sun4c@ config* libkvm.a mdec/ stand/ u370@ crash* libkvm.so.0.2* miniroot-4.0.3 sun@ u3b@ eeprom* libkvm.so.0.3* miniroot-4.1 sun2@ u3b15@ format* libkvm_p.a modload* sun3@ u3b2@ i386@ m68k@ pdp11@ sun386@ u3b5@ iAPX286@ machine@ ps* sun3x@ vax@ ld.so* mc68010@ pstat* sun4@ vmstat* /export/exec/kvm/sun3-40/boot: hostname* kadb* vmunix_small* ifconfig* mount* init* sh* intr* vmunix* /export/exec/kvm/sun3-40/mdec: bootsd* bootxd* bootxy* installboot* rawboot* /export/exec/kvm/sun3-40/stand: boot.sun3* copy.sun3* sh* vmunix* copy* kadb* tpboot.sun3* vmunix_small* /export/exec/kvm/sun3x-40: boot/ libkvm.so.0.3* miniroot-4.1 sun2@ u3b2@ eeprom* m68k@ pdp11@ sun3@ u3b5@ i386@ machine@ ps* sun3x@ vax@ iAPX286@ mc68010@ pstat* sun4@ vmstat* ld.so* mc68020@ sparc@ u370@ ldconfig* mdec/ stand/ u3b@ libkvm.a miniroot-4.0.3 sun@ u3b15@ /export/exec/kvm/sun3x-40/boot: hostname* init* mount* vmunix* ifconfig* kadb* sh* vmunix_small* /export/exec/kvm/sun3x-40/mdec: bootsd* bootxd* bootxy* installboot* rawboot* /export/exec/kvm/sun3x-40/stand: boot.sun3x* copy* tpboot.sun3x* Ariel J.
