That would make it longer, not shorter.  The number we had it 32 bits
long.

I've just booted up my SSII for the first time in 69 days.  The boot
screen tells me its serial number is 4232660, its Ethernet address is
8:0:20:3:2c:98, and the Host Id is 554095d4.  FWIW, the IP address is:

le0: flags=63<UP,BROADCAST,NOTRAILERS,RUNNING>
        inet 192.109.197.145 netmask ffffff00 broadcast 192.109.197.0

Look at that crazy broadcast address.
