INSTALL: 1. Login as root. 2. Extract patch contents from distribution media to /tmp directory. 3. You will need to know the name of your kernel. This can be determined by typing "strings /vmunix | grep Release". The name in parentheses is the name of your kernel. Subsequently, this name is referred to as KERNELNAME. 4. cp /usr/sys/{sun4c,sun4m}/OBJ/nvt.o /usr/sys/{sun4c,sun4m}/OBJ/nvt.FCS 5. cp /tmp/nvt.o /usr/sys/{sun4c,sun4m}/OBJ/nvt.o 6. cd /usr/sys/{sun4c,sun4m}/KERNELNAME 7. make 8. cp /vmunix /vmunix.bak (if you don't have room in the root partition to do this, copy it somewhere else - you should always have a backup to boot from) 9. cp /usr/sys/{sun4c,sun4m}/KERNELNAME/vmunix /vmunix 10. reboot system. Please Refer to the System and Networking Administration Manual section on building and installing a custom kernel.
