At least, the netinst image has
append="cdrom devfs=mount rw ramdisk_size=8192 rootfstype=ext2"

It's not all over yet, sorry :(
It gets a bit "further" (doesn't complain about the reiserfs stuff),
however:
[...]
NET4: Unix domain sockets 1.0/SMP for Linux NET4.0.
Kernel panic: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on 00:00
Press L1-A to return to the boot prom
Hardware: Sun Ultra 5 (UltraSPARC-IIi 333MHz (sun4u arch)).
Thanks for all the effort put into this...
