[rescue] sparc 5 solaris installation

[Klaasjan Brand]

Okay,

Booting with -sv from the cd gives a:
Size 259712+54162+47510 Bytes
before the SunOS banner and a list of detected hardware after that.
Last comes a list of attached scsi devices where the cd-rom is correctly
listed... 
sd6 is
/iommu at 0,10000000/sbus at 0,10001000/espdma at 5,8400000/esp at 5,8800000/sd at 6,0
cannot mount root on
/iommu at 0,10000000/sbus at 0,10001000/espdma at 5,8400000/esp at 5,8800000/sd at 6,0:b fstype ufs

after that the mountroot panic :|

I'll try tonight with a different cd-rom...
