Update of /a/cvsroot/src/sys/arch/sparc/stand
In directory pain.lcs.mit.edu:/b/tmp/cvs-serv6208

Modified Files:
        installboot.c 
Log Message:
Correct test for sun4 machines (thanks Chuck).
Since uname currently does not allow to discriminate different sparc
models, we use `sysctl.hw.cpumodel' to do this somewhat heuristicly:
if the returned strings starts with "SUN4-" a sun4 architecture is
assumed. This information is used to determine whether or not to strip
the a.out header off the 1st-stage bootblocks.
