Problem Description:

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.
