No worries mate,
It is handled by lines like
<sect2 condition="supports-rarp" id="tftp-rarp">
in the .xml files
and the buildone.sh script where you find:
sparc)
archspec="sparc;not-i386;not-s390;not-m68k;not-powerpc;not-alpha"
kernelversion="2.4.24"
fdisk="fdisk.txt"
network="supports-tftp;supports-rarp;supports-dhcp;supports-bootp;supports-nfsroot"
boot="supports-floppy-boot"
other="supports-serial-console;rescue-needs-root-disk"
smp="supports-smp"
goodies=""
;;
That there are architectures that claim "supports-rarp"
is an other problem ( Bug Report 250025 - 250029 )
Cheers
