Hi,

Managed to install from netinst using the workarounds mentioned in other
posts.

-So for the installer to load the "cdrom" had to execute shell and modprobe
sunvdc and sunvnet
-Weren't able to pick packages to be installed, so had to boot in rescue
and install openssh server and update modules and run update-initramfs
-After installation no console on ttyS0, started with systemctl enable
