just got 5 minutes to look at the 2.4.2 package and it looks to be
Solaris 2.x based with references to SUNWprsto.
Also had a play with presto command it it is telling me the board has
errors and is busy if I try to bring it up/down. Any thoughts? I am
thinking maybe its the flat batteries...
ss2-le0# presto -v
presto: open `/dev/pr0'
presto: PRGETSTATUS ok
dirty = 0, clean = 0, inval = 126, active = 0

All 2 batteries are low!
