Bug#315978: [sparc64] can't net install on v210



More info on this...

The sparc list reports that tg3 is known not to work since it needs
firmware which has been removed.  In that case I think the driver
should be removed and this should be documented, especially as it
isn't clear the driver has failed with a 2.6 kernel.

I found an hme card and did a net install via that.  The disk had
Solaris on it originally, intended for dual boot and the installation
trashed it.  On the reboot after initial installation, it booted
solaris, not silo, which failed like this:

  rebooting...

I started again, repartitioning the disk as the installer showed no
partitions, so it really was clobbered.  Then the reboot fails
similarly to this with either a 2.4 or 2.6 kernel install:
