Kirk:
Earlier this year I was doing an upgrade of my own machines... It was
surprisingly hard to find the document (I will send it to you directly,
rather than clog the list with the attachment). My original email on this
is copied below)
However, I had no problem with the upgrade of the Open Boot PROM itself;
this document covers issues related to jumper settings in SS10/20 when using
the Ross units.
Best luck - Lou

Peter,
Yes, what I cam up with after some research and some discussion with some
very helpful tecchies was the document attached. It outlines the various
jumper settings for using the Ross processors in various Sun boxes.
Surprisingly, this was a little difficult to track down.
I have _not_ as yet been able to load the newest Linux SMP kernel shipping
with SuSE 7.1, however (am I thinking of 2.2.4?). The older SMP kernel
shipped (2.2.18?) does work.
I also have no way to benchmark performance of my new rig - do you have any
such software? Maybe you can send me a nice multiprocessor version of Oracle
for my machine, right?
