[rescue] OBP Question

[alex at lava-net.com]

Hi,
I read some documentation somewhere (I can no longer find it 
unfortunately) that said that Opensolaris 2009.06 (the first version 
to support Sparc) required at least OBP 4.1.18, which would have 
prevented me from running it on my Ultra 10 thus the search for a 
newer Sun system.
