Comments/Problems:
Same sparcstation LX as previous reports. All problems have been seen
before.
Needed to add "ramdisk_size=8192" to command line.
DHCP worked second time.
partman still won't partion the second hard drive.
In the second stage, there are still messages about respawning tty2
and tty3. The "first boot" inittab needs to be fixed for serial
consoles.
The inittab after install is ok however, I no longer need to manually
patch it to get a usable system.

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