Before loading the SunFastEthernet software:
•
Ensure that the system is running SunOS Version 4.1.3 or later. Use the
uname command with the -r argument to determine your SunOS version as
shown in the following example:
hostname % uname -r
•
Verify that the /export/exec directory contains a symbolic link from
/export/exec/sun4 to the /usr directory on your machine. The link allows the
script to place the SunFastEthernet files in your /usr rather than your / (root)
partition.
