All my experience says SunOS 4.1.4 or 4.1.3_U1 with the y2k patches works ok.
Replacing the resolver with resolv+ v2.1 is also recommended by me.

Somewhere I've got a tape with the 4.1.4 patches cpio'd up to be overlayed on a
4.1.4 system for Sparc2...

I did all the y2k patching for my group at Lucent and found the "drop the cpio on top"
method of patching got me down to 15 minutes per machine and one reboot
after I did the first Sparc10 and Sparc2 and made the tapes.
