3.1 Hardware Requirements

Table 3-1 lists systems supported under the Solaris 1.x software versions for
Sun -4m architectures:

Note – The SunFastEthernet is not supported on the SBus Expansion
Subsystem under Solaris 1.x.

3.2 Preparing for Software Installation

Before loading the SunFastEthernet software:

Ensure that the system is running SunOS Version 4.1.3 or later. Use the
uname command with the -r argument to determine your SunOS version as
shown in the following example:

Verify that the /export/exec directory contains a symbolic link from
/export/exec/sun4 to the /usr directory on your machine. The link allows the
script to place the SunFastEthernet files in your /usr rather than your / (root)
partition.
