I have the CD and documentation in front of me. We got this from Sun
by asking for it. There would appear to be the normal set of patches
for unbundled things, plus a number of integrated patches. 102060 is
not among those listed, although a higher number 102096-01 is.  There
is also a miscellaneous bug fix #1149774 "remote users can override
the way NFS filesystems are mounted to gain root access", with no
correspoding patch number.

The printed list of devices supported remains the same (although there
is actually a tcx.o file in the sun4m/OBJ directory).
