Regardless, looking at /boot/silo.conf in the netinst I don't see any
support for sun4v platforms and so this may be just a waste of effort.
Umm, what?

What makes you think Debian doesn't run on a T4 when we've been running
it on a T5 in the past and folk at Oracle even running on an M8?!?!
maybe the logic that T4 compares as "less" to both T5 and M8.
But psst, don't tell him it also works on T1 and T2. ;-)
