Yeah, my test was booting in qemu-system-sparc64 with both a virtio CD and HD so I didn't get too far ;) Compared to the older January image, if I exit to a shell in the installer then the drivers/virtio directory in /lib/modules doesn't exist anymore so they were definitely bundled in the initramfs in the past. > I currently don't have a machine set up which I can use for building > fresh sparc64 installation images, my Sun Blade 100 is currently > sleeping in my basement. Okay. I do have the older ISO image to test with for the moment so please consider it a request for a future enhancement :) ATB, Mark.
