Try 5.3. Then report back please.
5.4 was useless for me & some other(s).
It failed when I tried on an UltraSparc-IIi Processor (400.00 MHz CPU)
See previous discussions on this list this month.

There's been more than one Subject: already covering this sort of failure, eg
My posting

I agree with whoever it was recently wrote he thought that 5.4 .ISO
should be removed from the ftp sites [& optionally rebuilt].  (Or
has anyone used it succesfully to boot install ?)
