/bin/hostid format: 8 hex digits: A M NNNNNN

A = architecture:
		0=sun2, 1=sun3, 2=sun4, 3=sun386i, 4=sun3x, 5=sun4c

M = machinetype:
		sun2 1=multibus, 2=vmebus
		sun3 1=160, 2=50, 3=260, 4=110, 7=60, 8=Eurocard
		sun4 1=260, 2=110, 3=330, 4=460
		sun3x 1=470, 2=80
		sun4c 1=60

NNNNN = cpu serial 

system serial number format: 3 digits, letter, 4 digits: Y WW L NNNN

Y = year: 4 = 84, 5 = 85, ...
WW = week: 23 = 23rd week of year
L = letter, C through F (possibly manufacturing site?)
NNNN = number of unit


The complete dope on the hostid # can be found in the include file
