Hi Adrian,

I uploaded both CD images [1] as well as netboot images [2].

Please test those images and report back over the mailing list for
the corresponding architecture.

Known issues:
[...]
  * sparc64
    - Installation over a serial console is currently broken
      on sparc64 due to a bug in the rootskel package
      (can also be considered a kernel bug), see: #926539.
      Use any image before 2019-04-06 as workaround.

Looks like this doesn't affect sun4u machines, at least this ISO worked
for my v245 using the serial console without any problems. Nice work! :-D

Just one odd thing: I didn't see any kernel messages when booting from
the installer disc. I assumed that there might be a `quiet` in the
kernel command line, but editing the GRUB menu options showed no
arguments for the kernel command line at all for the "default" option,
just "boot_one" IIRC.

Cheers,
Frank
