Bug#288140: [sparc] Keyboard handling broken on SS20

With your netboot image the keyboard works fine. The install
breaks at a later stage though. This is due to the module-udebs
in the archive having unresolved symbols with your kernel,
which results in an unloadable scsi driver module.

Unfortunately, this is to be expected. As the kernel configuration was changed, the layout of the symbols shifted as well, so the kernel modules from the archive can no longer be used. The real workaround would be to build a CD image, including both the new kernel and new module packages, however I've never done that. See also bug 289083, the submitter seems to be hitting the same problem but manages to get to the keyboard selection menu (using backslash symbol as Enter). You can also install using serial console, which is not affected. Hopefully, this will be fixed before the release.
