The difference is mainly in the kernel code. The kernel is different for
the SS-1. According to the Sun installation manuals, you CAN install the
4.0.3c release onto any sparc machine. The application code is compatible.
You will get new directories created in /usr/kvm and /usr/sys to support
the SS-1 kernel's. DO NOT get these mixed up, you still need the standard
4.0.3 for sparc /usr/kvm and /usr/sys for your 4/110
