The hostid of each machine is supposed to indicate the CPU/machine type.
Not sure if sun is still living up to that convention, but in the older
days, they were.

If I remember correctly, the 1st byte is the cpu type, the second is the
machine type. The appended shell script may be useful. Note that this
script doesn't recognize a sparc-type cpu yet (since the script was
written 2 yrs ago....), but i think the cpu type is 5 for sparc. just
sample the output of `hostid` and you'll get the idea...

someplace along the line, i belive the kernel config file also makes note
of the machine type (# connection for machine type X), so, kernel config
files are a source or further data for the attached script.
