  cnboot has been fixed. You can again install Sparc5 and Sparc4 machines the 
normal way but first you have to obtain new floppy(s).

  On any Sun machine do:

1.   insert a floppy in the floppy drive
2.    attach bootkit
      cd /mit/bootkit/solarisinstall/28
      fdformat -U
      volcheck
      ./fd.install /vol/dev/aliases/floppy0
      eject


With this floppy you can go to any SparcX to be installed with athena 9.0;
insert it in the floppy drive and run :

 boot floppy
