Yes, I know, I've done it for an ELC once. But I'm lazy :)
I am in favour of dropping Sun4c (and possibly Sun4d but thats a different
story) for all new kernels.
All of the possible hardware combinations for Sun4c have been covered since
2.2.x and nothing new will happen. Modern kernels need more memory and these
machines are all limited to 64Mb or less.
Not strictly true. My SPARCStation 1+ clone has a 4 port SBUS serial card
that is not supported by Linux. :).
Those who want to keep thse antiques alive should just use the older kernels.
BSD is faster on Sun4c anyway due to task swapping issues.
