[rescue] sunpc

Hello all

I'm trying to install SunPC 4.1 on a Sparcstation 2 to see if I can get my Sbus 486SX card running. I've got an original Sunpc 4.1 CD.

The docs and the software are a bit out of sync, and I'm not having much success.

I suspect though I'm missing something or not installing things correctly. The manual talks about running 'sunpc_install' but this seems burried on the disk in a folder called

/SUNWsunpc/reloc/SUNWsunpc/bin/sunpc_install

it seems a bit weird to run something from that folder. 

When I run this  - it complains that it cant find the kernel. I assume this is because the Solaris 2.5 kernel is /kernel/genunix not /kernel/unix ? There is an option to put the kernel path in , which works, but the script then fails to install the driver.

Any idea what I"m missing here?
