I'm fairly certain of that.  The checksums of the files I have match the
32-bit release, not the 64-bit release.  Although, my last attempts to
netboot give "Data Access Exception".  That'd make me start pointing
fingers at caching or memory hardware, except that SunOS 4.1.3 and 5.8
boot just fine.

Yeah, that was the impression that I got--that it "just works".

Nothing listed for SPARC.

If I don't come up with anything in the next day or so, I might do that.
