Given at this point I was running GENERIC from install images pulled
down from ftp.freebsd.org, I would certainly hope they were in sync,
nevertheless, here's the output:

uname -K
1100122
uname -U
1100122


It seems this should be *trivial* for anyone to reproduce who has a
sparc64 machine.  Boot machine, load ipfw (standard caveats apply
here, you want console access), ipfw -a list, get error message.  If
you still have a 10.3 ipfw use that next.

the fsck test is a bit more involved to test, but I feel here people
are playing with fire... their systems will work perfectly until they
get a crash, and then their FS is toast.
