Eh. If it were just for Sun stuff it'd be just as off-topic to talk 
about SGI hardware, Alphas, and so on as x86. Given that I spend much 
more time with SGI, Apple, and random x86 stuff than Sun hardware, I 
much prefer Rescue as a platform-independent list.

He asked for some help/information regarding a rescued system. Does it 
really matter what architecture it is?

That would be the reason I have so much trouble talking with people 
about computers: I'm effectively platform agnostic, while almost 
everyone I know is *some* kind of zealot (usually OS-related, but 
occasionally hardware as well).
