I am trying out the Corporate Server for Sparc package. I am trying to load it
on a SPARCstation 5 "Classic". The graphical install bombs when it tries to
switch from text mode into graphics. A minor (for me) problem.

What is a showstopper for me is that using the Text Mode install, it wants me
to partition my four drives. Not a problem. I partition the same way that I
would an Intel box, 1 EXT2 partition per drive, and a swap partition on the
first drive. It then asks me for the mount points for each drive, but it will
not accept any input. I can TAB to each field and the buttons, but nothing is
accepted in the fields. If I type in a value and then go to OK, it complains
that I need to set the / mountpoint. My guess is that there is something funky
in the runinstall2 scripts, my my Perl skills are non-existent. Has any other
Sparc user run into this? Is it a problem in the Intel Corporate package too?
