Some Sparc 2's will take boot diskn syntax, but will not take the
disn:p syntax for booting off of the swap partitions. They will also
refuse the sd(,,1) syntax, so the only option remaining is to use the
boot /sbus.... style syntax. This is for use with miniroot22.fs type
installs when booting from the swap partition..
