Comments/Problems:

Same sparcstation LX, only installing to first hard drive.  This works.

partman still won't do anything with the second hard drive.

In the second stage, I ran into two problems.

It still put a bogus inittab that needs to be manually fixed before the
system is usable.  (ttyS0 not enabled, tty[0-6] are enabled)

When editing sources.list (why isn't a more user freindly editor than
nano available -- even vi would be better) I hit ^Z thinking it might
get me to a shell.  It hung the system, requiring a reboot to get out.
What package should I report this bug on?

With Microsoft, failure is not an option.  It is a standard feature.
