You might have to update OBP (OpenBoot Prom) before it will work. I had
to before I could go from a 270MHz to a 333MHz.
I think the instructions are online, but I started a solaris install and
it asked me if I wanted to update at some point. Once it was done I
installed the processor and it worked fine.
