	SunOS - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		SunOS was the version of the UNIX operating system developed by Sun Microsystems for their workstations and server systems until the early 1990s.
		SunOS used the OpenLook windowing system, in later Solaris releases they also introduced CDE.
		Solaris man pages are labeled with SunOS, and the startup sequence displays it, but the term "SunOS" is no longer used in Sun marketing documents.

	Solaris Operating Environment - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The shift to a System V code base in SunOS 5 was marked by changing the marketing name to Solaris 2; thus SunOS 5.0 was marketed as Solaris 2.0.
		The term "SunOS" is still used to refer to the underlying operating system itself, and Solaris is considered to be the SunOS operating system plus a graphical user environment, ONC+, and networking and other enhancements.
		SunOS is still used as the term to describe the core of Solaris.

	FAQ: Sun Computer Administration Frequently Asked Questions
		In SunOS 4.x the amount of swap space and Virutal memory are one and the same so you need at least as much swap as real memory.
		SunOS 4.1 and later shouldn't get "inode: table is full", as that table is dynamically allocated; SunOS 5.0 should dynamically allocate entries in most if not all of those tables.
		SunOS 4.1.3 has been reported to run on the SPARCstation 10 model 412/512 and the 600 model 412/512, but this configuration is not supported by Sun.

		Enable SunOS 4.x executable files in a.out object file format to execute on the Solaris 8 release (where the default object file format is ELF).
		Provide SunOS 4.x behavior for all library routines and system calls, including those with new interfaces or different behaviors: even if the interface to or behavior of the calls differs, this mapping ensures that the SunOS 4.x binaries will get the expected behavior.
		For SunOS 5.0, and subsequent releases, all of these functions are changed to perform their functions through the Name Service Switch.

		Under SunOS 4.1.x, there is a "#B=" at the top of /var/yp/Makefile, uncomment and change this to "B=-b" and setup NIS in the usual fashion.
		SunOS 4.1.3 and later has been reported to run on multiprocessor SuperSPARC configurations of the SS10, SS20, and 600, but this configuration is not supported by Sun.
		In SunOS 4.x, this is usually caused by a blank line in /etc/services or in the services map on the NIS server.

		Enable SunOS executable files in a.out object file format to execute on Solaris (where the default object file format is ELF).
		Correctly map the set of supported SunOS ioctls to the corresponding SunOS 5.x ioctls, and ensure that the ioctl parameters are properly mapped.

		In this example the bootserver is a Sun 3/80 running SunOS 4.1.1, so the exact syntax of the configuration files might be a bit different if you use another system.
		There are some scripts that should setup anything for you if you have a SunOS bootserver, but these scripts didn't work for me and they have certain limitations, so I did everything the old fashioned way.
		The SunOS version in this example is 4.1.1, but any other version should be okay too, as long as it supports your hardware.

		Very few SunOS systems remain in use and continued Facilities support of this outdate software is no longer practical.
		In general, users who are currently on facilities-supported SunOS machines should consider moving to either Solaris or Linux as their supported platform.

	SunOS vs Solaris

		The primary differences between SunOS 4.X and Solaris 2 are differences between the Berkeley version of tools and commands and the ATandT version of those same tools and commands.

		SunOS release 4.x systems convey type rather than device attributes, which makes it difficult for programs and scripts to derive necessary information about devices.
		SunOS release 5.6 conventions are slightly different from ATandT SVR4 device names because SunOS release 5.6 allows only eight user-configurable slices on a disk.
		SunOS release 5.6 and SunOS release 4.x file systems are similar, but there are changes in the locations and names of system directories and files.

		CONFIGURING SUNOS FOR USE WITH DLT'S. For all files you are likely to edit or otherwise change I recommend for you to take a backup before applying your changes (including /vmunix when making a new kernel under 4.1.x).
		We had to introduce them because SunOS is unable to enable/disable compression using the standard way, so we created the additional codes which change the format and enable/disable compression at the same time.
		As all of these are _generic_ drivers as is the REEL one i still prefer to use REEL as originally recommended by DEC and I've noticed no unwanted behaviour using REEL as the type.
