Many thanks for all the replies I got to my Sparc 2 to Sparc 10 upgrade
question. The simple answer is that the Sparc 2 is a sun4c architecture
and the Sparc10 is a sun4m architecture. You need to reload the OS
(at least 4.1.3) onto the disk.
In info.sun-managers you write:

>I performed the upgrade but CANNOT BOOT the Sparc 10

>I can boot the new Sparc 10 from an external CD-ROM,
