NOTE 2: By using Sun System Firmware (Firmware) you agree to the terms of the
	Software License Agreement and Entitlement (SLA/Entitlement) found in
	Sun_System_Firmware-6_7-download_SLA_and_Entitlement.txt.  By using the 
	Firmware, you agree to the terms of the SLA/Entitlement. If you do not
	agree to all of the terms promptly destroy the unused Firmware.
 
NOTE 3: This patch supports both the Sun Fire T1000 and the APL SPARC
	Enterprise T1000 product lines, which share the same firmware.  We
	include two separate Sun System Firmware binary files, with different
	names corresponding to the respective products. The different names are
	provided for convenience - the two files are otherwise identical. 
 
	The system may experience boot or other problems with earlier version of
	Solaris (S10_HW2).
 
	SPARC Enterprise T1000 (APL) configurations require Solaris 10 11/06 (Update 3)
	(or later) to be installed.
 
NOTE 4: Please refer to the online documentation for feature and version
	compatibility between Sun System Firmware and LDom Manager releases.
	LDoms release notes are available on http://docs.sun.com/app/docs/prod/ldoms.
 
 
NOTE 5: If you are currently using LDoms 1.0 software, you must perform a
	full upgrade procedure to upgrade to LDoms 1.2 software.
	Refer to the Logical Domains (LDoms) Administration Guide at
	http://docs.sun.com/app/docs/prod/ldoms. You do not need to
	destroy configurations created with LDoms 1.0.1 or later software;
	you only need to upgrade the software.
