Well I now have my 4.0.3 upgrade tapes and all worked fine (upgrading from
"my" 4.0.1 RELEASE to 4.0.3).  Apparently the new sunuprade script(s)
didn't care as long as you had 4.x.x to start with.

BTW: the sunupgrade scripts for SPARC are broken when the Sun4 is a server
to Sun3's - it bombed loading the new kvm directory...  See your Sun PA
for details - I did, but I fixed it by hand before I called...  It
(sunupgrade on the SPARC tape) doesn't even match the documentation - as
far as the questions/selections/display messages/etc...  Not what I call a
QUALITY product for an upgrade.  This didn't really bother me but I don't
want to think what Sun's non-tech customers will do with the upgrade!
