[SunRescue] help a guy run 2.6 on his 670MP

[Dave McGuire]

  I found that 2.5.1 wasn't stable enough for production use when
attempting to put a very heavily-hit apache/php/database load on it.
The hardware was an SS20/71 with 384MB RAM.

  I went back to NetBSD and have been happy ever since.  Though
currently I'm developing an application under Solaris7 because I
wanted to make use of the Ultrasparc's VIS instruction set.  While
it's nowhere near as "clean" as a nice modern NetBSD load, I'm
impressed with Solaris7 so far.  And that's a lot coming from a
long-time Solaris hater like me.
