Works on an Ultra 60 with 2 cpus.

I did a guided install via serial console.
after hostname input I saw :
rm: /tmp/bsdinstall_etc/fstab: No such file or directory
On a different attempt, I wasn't sure how to exit the LiveCD portion of it and get back into the installer. I could type sysinstall
to get into sysinstall, but that isn't the same. I ended up rebooting.
I configured a static ip and expected 'tab' to get me onto the Netmask line, needed
to use the down error.
Works for me.
