        NOTE 8: When responding to the question:
 
		Do you wish to continue this installation {yes or no} [yes]?
                (by default, installation will continue in 60 seconds)
 
		A 'kill <pid>' is shown when the default behavior is
                specified (e.g. yes).  This is harmless.
 
        NOTE 9: The fix for 4614041 involves a dependency on
                /usr/xpg4/bin/sh which is delivered in the optional
                package SUNWxcu4. To ensure that libc functions
                correctly, this package is automatically installed on
                the user's system if it does not exist. The stream
                formatted base FCS SUNWxcu4 package included with this
                patch is  "SUNWxcu4.stream.pkg".
 
	NOTE 10: To get the complete fix for bugid 4691127, please
	         install the following patch:
 
		 108901-06 (or newer)	rpcmod patch
 
	NOTE 11: To get the complete fix for bugids 4475044, 4335175
                 and 4340959 please install the following patch:
 
                 113415-01 (or newer)	GNU gettext patch
 
        NOTE 12: The fix for bug#4680691 uncovered a bug (4775198) in
                 the SUNWjbcp package. A patch for this bug has been
                 released as 114152-01. This patch (or newer) has to
                 be installed if you use the SUNWjbcp package.
 
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 VERITAS Volume Manager (VxVM) commands may break after installing patch
 108827-15 or above.
 - After installation of 108827-15 or above, a subset of VxVM commands
   may produce error messages which contain the text "referenced symbol
   not found".
 
   For example:
   # vxlicense -c
   ld.so.1: vxlicense: fatal: relocation error: file /etc/vx/slib/libnsl.so.1:
   symbol _libc_register_forkhandler: referenced symbol not found
   Killed
 
   The workaround is to add "usr/lib" to environment variable LD_LIBRARY_PATH
   before running the VERITAS commands.  The full workaround is documented
   in SunAlert document 42797.  VERITAS has committed to fix this problem
   in the next VxVM 3.1.1 and 3.2 patch releases.
 
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 
   For Sun Cluster 3.0 Customers Only
   ===================================
 
   Sun Cluster 3.0 cluster nodes will hang at boot time after installing
   Solaris 8 02/02 (Update 7) or after installing the Solaris libthread
   patch 108827-15 (or newer) *without* the Sun Cluster core patch
   110648-12 (or newer).
 
   The workaround is to install Sun Cluster core patch 110648-12 (or newer),
   before rebooting the nodes into cluster mode.  If the cluster nodes
   are already hung, boot the nodes in non-cluster mode (boot -x), add
   Sun Cluster core patch 110648-12 (or newer) and then boot the nodes
   back into cluster mode.
