I used the Dec5 version on line3-v480, copied the miniroot to
/platform/sun4u/miniroot on my OpenSolaris BE and booted it on a sun4u
workstation. Driver differences described below.

It appears based on an older kernel than what's in the SPARC IPS
repository right now (and it won't import my rpool).
---------------------
Installed drivers compared to Nevada 104 installation mini-root:
OpenSolaris missing drivers found by comparing name_to_major:
fm (SUNWfmd)
hxge (SUNWhxge)
ipnet (added to Nevada after nv98?)
nulldriver (have no idea)
svvslo (I doubt it's relevant)
vlds (SUNWldom, but that already installed so post-nv98 difference?)
OpenSolaris missing driver aliases:
bunch of e1000g aliases (probably added between nv98 and nv104)
-hxge "pciex108e,aaaa" (part of SUNWhxge)
-nxge "SUNW,rock-pciex108e,abcd" (added after nv98?)
-vlds "SUNW,sun4v-domain-service" (part of SUNWldom, presumably)
Cheers!greg
