Good to know there a sparc 3.18.x kernel package, if i am well. Thats
what is needed at least for systemd running well.

You always can cp the kernel and drivers from iso to disk, for testing
purpose, if you want to. Check if firmware parts are needed. Adrian
told me he doesn't wanne build the 3.x kernel package for sparc64.
