Using athinfo on the public-sun4 cluster machines, I've identified 10
sun4u and 47 sun4m machines which can't take the update due to
partition sizes.  I've categorized them and will list them in
descending order of importance at the end of this message.

I hope fuzzballs will be replacing the older quickstations in light of
the 9.0 release; if not, a simple reinstall should suffice for all of
them.  For the other machines, I plan to send mail to the owners of
the non-EOL'd machines (Sparc 5/110, Sparc 4, and Ultra) saying
they'll have to reinstall or stay at 8.4, and a similar mail to the
owners of the EOL'd machines (except for lnitp, a sipb machine) saying
they'll have to reinstall but that their machines have been
desupported.

The ultras are:

The Sparc 5s which don't recognize the cpuspeed query are (except for
lnitp, which I was able to log into and check myself):
