No. We hit a rather painful anaconda bug that we think might be SILO
related, and haven't had the time to properly debug it. The rest of the
F9 sparc tree (optimized for sun4u) is done though.

Dennis should be able to provide the "how to upgrade to Fedora SPARC 9
via yum" walkthrough... he's done it a few times at this point.
