Boot manager:
	Sun OpenBoot
	http://docs.sun.com/ab2/coll.216.1/@Ab2CollView?AbLang=C%26Ab2Enc=iso-8859-1%26DwebQuery=OpenBOOT
	Note: Booting from the second disk (a copy of the first) is hard
	because the disk does not spin up automatically. You have to get
	the boot manager from the first disk, and this manages to spin
	the second up. Try:
		ok> boot disk2 vmunix
		Boot: disk2
		root filesystem type: 4.2
		root device: sd2a
		swap filesystem type: spec
		swap device: sd2b

Operating System:
	SunOS 4.1 with XNeWS PostScript-enhanced X window system and Sunview
	window manager (yuk!). Linux Netscape sometimes works and sometimes
	makes XNeWS server bomb out with SIGSEGV or SIGBUS.
	Can mount filesystem types: 4.2, nfs, rfs, lo, hsfs, tmp and
	(undocumented in man fstab) pcfs for MS-DOS-format floppies.
	Specialized software:
		Two C compilers:
		/usr/bin/cc
			Sun Microsystems compiler, 1989
			Languages: K&R traditional C
			Target processors:
				mc68010, mc68020, i386, sparc
		/usr/lang/cc
			Sun Microsystems SC 2.0.1 compiler, 1992
			Languages: ANSI C, Sun C and flavours in between
			Target architectures:
				sun2, sun3x, sun386, sun3, sun4c, sun4
			Target processors:
				mc68010, mc68020, i386, sparc
		mira
			Miranda functional programming system
Linux machine type:
	sun4m
Linux releases:
	debian 3.0 release 0 installation wouldn't boot on the 2nd drive
	(see above) and couldn't write the floppy. Installation sequence was
	hour-consuming and spitting out error messages often. Seems buggy.
