Applying OBP upgrade to SS20.

[Chris Andrew]

Hi, everybody.

Wikipedia has this link to OBP images:

http://public.planetmirror.com/pub/sun-bootroms/

Does anybody know how to apply these to an SS20?  I have done upgrade
on an Ultra 10 before (straight forward job), but have no experience
on this older hardware.

Can anyone help?

Cheers,

Chris.

Write the image of choice into an EPROM, rip out your old one and put in the
new one. AFAIK there never was a sparc 32 bit box with an EEPROM.

Personally, I once bought a ready made EPROM on ebay and upgraded my SS20
that way,
