Comments/Problems:
The kernel on the beta3 CD seems to lack keyboard support, so
installing using the console is rather hard :)
Some strings in the list of languages aren't displayed properly, which
means the installation probably can't be done using the affected
languages.
Note: the installation manual lacks the instructions needed to boot
from the CD (boot -f scsi(X)cdrom(Y)partition(8)/r4k-ip22 in the PROM)
I'll attempt a serial console install and will submit another report
once I'll be done.
Thanks,
JB.
