Path Name:  /hp-ux_patches/s700/9.X/PHCO_4977

Symptoms:
        PHCO_4977:
        Old version allocated 1MB of A24 and A32 space, even when
        not needed.
        Slave-mapped memory entities' alignments >1MB not honored.
        k,m,g (lower case) numeric suffixes ignored.

        PHCO_4428:
        Slave-mapper base address sometimes stripped of MSB.
        Allocating up to and including 0xffffffff in A32 dumped
        core.
        Inconsistent 'k' and 'm' suffix printing in reports.

Defect Description:
        PHCO_4977:
        The previous version always allocated 1MB of A24 and A32
        space for the slave mapper.  The new version only allocates
        VME space for defined entities for 743/748.  (For 747 and
        742, vme_config still allocates 1MB of A24 and A32.)
        The previous version aligned slave-mapped entities
        starting at 1MB boundary, even if .CFG file asked for >1MB
        boundary.
        The previous version ignored 'k,' 'm,' and 'g' (lower
        case) suffixes for numbers in the .CFG file.
        The previous version dumped core if the .CFG contained an
        A32 memory entity that included the address 0xffffffff.
        The new version now correctly uses 'k' and 'm' suffixes
        when printing reports.
        The new version sets the data the bootROM needs for
        proper VME initialization.

        Previous patches:

        PHCO_4428:
        Added collision messages, removed troublesome 16MB A24
        direct mapped windows, fixed handling of undefined AM codes,
        fixed token error number reporting, added support for G
        (gigabyte) suffix, changed DMA time values to whole numbers,
        mixed mis-size checking bug (ETL).

                cp patch_source/PHCO_4977 .
                sh PHCO_4977

        3. Become root and run update:

                /etc/update

        4. Use the cursor keys to select "Change Source or

        5. Select "From Tape Device to Local System ..."
           in the Change window and

        6. Change "Source: /dev/rmt/0m" to
           "Source: /tmp/PHCO_4977.updt"

        7. Press "Done" (f4).

        8. Follow the standard directions for update.

        Update moves the original software to
        /system/PHCO_4977/orig.  Keep this file to recover from any
        potential problems.  You should move the .text file to
