Are you sure about sdy? According to http://docs.sun.com/source/820-4893-13/rhel.html Table 4-1 it depends on the firmware version and on Virtual Floppy / Virtual CD-ROM being mounted, so you should probably try sdx ... (And you should change sdz to sdab or sdac ...) I have no experience with Thumpers and FAI, but spent some time using kickstart for CentOS to find the correct boot devices -- and in my case it has been sdy and sdac, even with Firmware 2.0.2.5 and no Virtual Floppy / Virtual CD-ROM, so in my case the table was wrong. Probably it depends on the kernel version used ...
