---------------------------------------------------------------------------
After getting the patch onto your machine, unshar the patch (sh PHKL_1017).

To install this patch do the following:
1) Run the update program (Note: you must be logged in as root to update
   a system).
2) Once in the update "Main Menu" move the highlighted line to "Change
   Source or Destination ->" and press "Return" or "Select Item".
3) Make sure the highlighted item in the "Change Source or Destination"
   window is "From Tape Device to Local System ...", then press "Return" or
   "Select Item".
4) You should now be in the "From Tape Device to Local System" window.
   Change the "Source:  /dev/rmt/0m" to "Source: /tmp/PHKL_1017.updt"
   (this assumes that you are in the /tmp directory where PHKL_1017.updt
   has been placed).  Note: You must enter the complete path name.
5) Press "Done".
6) From here on follow the standard directions for update.

The customized script that update runs will move the original software
to /system/PHKL_1017/orig.  HP recommends keeping this software there in
order to recover from any potential problems.  It is also recommended that
you move the PHKL_1017.text file to /system/PHKL_1017 to be retained for
future reference.

IMPORTANT:  After installing the patch with update, it is necessary to
include the async IO driver handle in your kernel description file
(commonly known as the 'dfile', located in /etc/conf), and rebuild the
kernel, then reboot the system with the new kernel.  The driver handle
for async IO is 'async'.

Refer to the System Administration Guide for information on how to add
features to and rebuild your kernel. A sample dfile is included below
for demonstration of how to include async IO. Note, however, that your
actual dfile will be different, so this dfile is for illustration
purposes only.

Sample dfile containing async IO specification:

async
inet
ni
netman
lan01
scsi
scsitape
sim0
eisa
CharDrv
parallel
asio0
cdfs
pty0
pty1
diag1
dmem
dconfig
netdiag1
uipc
nfs
dmmax   16384

If you wish to put this patch on a magnetic tape and update from the tape
drive, dd a copy of the patch to the tape drive.  As an example the
following will create a copy of the patch that update can read:
dd if=PHKL_1017.updt of=/dev/rmt/0m bs=2048
