Bryce!

Please use the images from the next day (2016-05-04) and look at the recent discussion on #sparc.

The glibc issue has already been resolved, however we're still missing a symlink to /dev/cdrom which udev needs to create.

I have already patched /lib/udev/rules.d/60-cdrom-info.rules (not sure whether I remember the filename correctly, I'm on mobile), but udev upstream won't accept my pull request in its current form.

Something really unhappy with the serial terminal though ,.. keeps injecting [[C [[B chars from the cursor keys which makes menu navigation really awkward. For now I'll assume thats something in my setup
Reran install since it got impossible to navigate the menus.
blah blah install,..

ftp.debian-ports.org/debian still errors out but thats expected so skip on to  installing the bootloader

Course this is a headless install so  we need the console running on tty??..

Hurm,.. on the 2016-04-10/ ISO, that dropped through to a usable console fine (just looking at it now)
so,. the sunv* stuff in 2016-05-04 looks like it's fine,  just have to figure out where the 'console' went

Old:
root@bryce-deb:~# tty
/dev/console

/lib/udev/rules.d/90-console-setup.rules
