        Prestoserve partially installed on test3!

Installation of <SUNWprsto> was successful.

When we attempt to add the driver by hand we get

test3 78 # set drivername=pr
test3 79 # add_drv -m '* 0644 root sys' -i 'MMI,prestoserve SUNW,nvmemory 
SUNW,nvone SUNW,nvtwo' ${drivername}
(MMI,prestoserve) already in use as a driver or alias.

We could see the prestoserve board by typing show-devs at the ok prompt.
SOLUTION SUMMARY:
The user needs to boot Solaris 7 in 32-bit mode and set the
following line in etc/system file:

set fas:fas_enable_sbus64=0

Device drivers written for 32-bit Solaris do not work under 64-bit Solaris.
