If you order a machine without the (basically useless) 3.5" floppy, but
with internal disks, don't expect to get the OS preinstalled on the
internal disks, as the disk hardware isn't even installed by Sun for this
configuration.  I have two useless SparcStations right now because, of
course, I didn't get the OS media for machines that supposedly came with
it already installed.

And to think I was hoping this would be the first Sun ever to run right
out of the box.  Another screw from Mountain View...
