Comments/Problems:
I did several installs and I found several problems ... but I did a install
without problems !
First, partman doesn't know how to do a automatic partitioning on the whole
disk. I got this error :
"can't have the end before the start"
And if there is no partitions, it can't even create one. But if there are
already some partitions, it can delete 2 and create 1 with the space of the
two.
partman only proposes ext2, but this bug is fixed I think.
And last problem, silo-installer can't work with a reiserfs /. It's normal,
but the error message must be more explicit.
But sparc64 netboot works (at least for me) !

I tested with lastest RC1 image, and my problems are fixed.
So I think we can close this bug report.
Thanks.
