Patch Installation Instructions:
-------------------------------- 
Refer to the Install.info file for instructions on using the
generic ''installpatch'' and ''backoutpatch'' scripts provided with
each patch.  Any other special or non-generic installation
instructions should be described below as special instructions.

Special Install Instructions:
----------------------------- 
The SUNWifp package has been demonstrated to cause a system 
panic if the software is installed after the hardware has 
been attached. This problem has been encountered in Solaris 
2.6 where the SUNWifp is an unbundled package and could be 
encountered in later releases if the OS is reinstalled. For 
new unbundled installations the customers should be sure to 
follow the instructions that came with the unbundled CDROM. 
Whenever the SUNWifp is going to be installed on a system and 
the card is already installed the  enclosures should be turned 
off to avoid this installation  problem.
