SUMMARY: Booting SPARCserver 630MP from CD ROM

From: Jeff Makey (makey@VisiCom.COM)

The overwhelming response is that SunOS 4.1.1b does *not* support the
630MP's Sun4m architecture, so there is no way to boot it from the
4.1.1b CD ROM. I need to buy the 4.1.2 CD ROM (part no. SX-21), which
somehow did not get ordered with the SPARCserver.

An RTFM response pointed to the READ ME FIRST document, but there was
none in the shipment.
