I'm trying to upgrade Solaris 9 s9_58shwpl3 SPARC, to Solaris 9 4/04.
My original image was flashed onto the system and I would very much
like to preserve all the changes I made. I need some of the hardware
updates on 4/04 for some new systems I will be rolling out.

I tried booting the 4/04 release but it did not detect any upgradable
volumes. Any hints?
