[SPARCbook] reviving a 3gx

[Sunder]

You'll need to go to Solaris 2.6 and download the packages + patches from
tadpole - uh, correction, looks like ftp.tadpole.com is no longer
anonymously accessible.

If you don't have the Solaris 2.5.1 Tadpole packages, you're SOL.  It
looks like 2.6 packages are no more also...  anyone got a mirror up
somewhere?
