SunOS 3.5

Installing SunOS on a Sun3:

SunOS 3.5 runs on classic Sun3 like the 3/160, 3/110, 3/75, 3/60, or 3/50. It does not support the sun3x kernel architecture. It's old and rather simple. There are no shared libraries. It deviates from more modern SunOS 4 in one very important area: It does not netboot like a modern SunOS. It requires a special "nd" server to provide network storage. SunOS 3.5 will be able to use NFS shares just fine, but can't use them for booting over the network.

SunOS will often not properly with with a serial terminal set to 9600 8N1, but requires 7N1.

remove all references to CG3 and CG6 in the Makefile. Build server without support for these. We don't need them, because cg3 and cg6 are sbus cards and we don't have those. Also check sunInit.c for init and create of CG3 and CG6.

SunOS 3.5 doesn't know about h_addr_list. replace all h_addr_list[0] with h_addr:

SunOS 3.5 defines this in /etc/services:
