Haven't found evidence of any...

No friggin idea.  I mean, it says LX on it.  I had never heard of an LX+
until I also saw it in that document...

Not that I know of.  Today I'm figuring I'm gonna try installing a
Sparc 10 or 20 via netboot and see if that works.  If it does, that
says it's LX-specific.  Perhaps specific to that one (hardware).
If it doesn't work, I'll try my other Ultra 1 and find out if it's
sun4m-specific...
