Those who have expressed interest in testing out a new set of sparc
bootblocks can find them at ftp://ftp.cs.few.eur.nl/pub/pk/stand.tar.gz
Please note:
- you need an up-to-date <sys/lib/liba> and <sys/sparc/include>
for the sources to compile (the tar files also has binaries)
- installing this can render your machine useless if you have no
other means of booting handy (net or cdrom or a spare disk).
hint: if possible, install them on a "free" partition, ie. one
that is not your regular boot partition.
hint2: start by trying out the "boot" program first, eg. use
SunOS's "/usr/mdec" stuff on install the experimental `/boot'.
