installation

[Jason]

After you get the os installed, make sure you compile a kernel with
syscons.

device sc

and turn them on in /etc/ttys

Why doesn't the GENERIC sparc64 kernel have syscons in it if they work?
Wouldn't that fix the installer?

whoah, blinkenlights.nl?  What happened to starwars at
towel.blinkenlights.nl:23
