A 4/1xx can't run anything later than Solaris 2.4 (aka SunOS 5.4) if I'm not
mistaken. They run 4.1.4 just fine, since I used to have one running that
here.

The 4/110 has what's the kernel configuration files appropriately call
'scsi-wierd'. I'm not sure how the SCSI-ID's map to the numbers for 'y' in
the boot command.
