We will have UltraSparc support in slink, but I don't know if the floppies will work on those architectures. I'm having little luck with floppies. I can't get anything to boot in the Ultras - not even the UltraPenguin image. I will be working with Eric on the CDROM image - it should be able to autodetect the platform and boot the right kernel, but the user will still have to select the right resc/drv images during the installation process.
