Something really unhappy with the serial terminal though ,.. keeps injecting [[C

now I'll assume thats something in my setup
Reran install since it got impossible to navigate the menus.
blah blah install,..

ftp.debian-ports.org/debian still errors out but thats expected so skip on to 
installing the bootloader

Course this is a headless install so  we need the console running on tty??..

Hurm,.. on the 2016-04-10/
 ISO, that dropped
through to a usable console fine (just looking at it now)
so,. the sunv* stuff in 2016-05-04
 looks like it's fine, 
just have to figure out where the 'console' went

Bryce!

Please use the images from the next day (2016-05-04) and look at the recent 
discussion on #sparc.

The glibc issue has already been resolved, however we're still missing a 
symlink to /dev/cdrom which udev needs to create.

I have already patched /lib/udev/rules.d/60-cdrom-info.rules (not sure whether 
I remember the filename correctly, I'm on mobile), but udev upstream won't 
accept my pull request in its current form.

Sorry it's taken me a while to get time to go look at this ISO set.

popped out to a shell to see if it was loaded

vdiska is the cdrom and the 8 partitions are as expected (they all point to the
same partition) and vdiskb is seen by the kernel
so popped back into the install and asked it to detect disks again.

"No disk drive was detected"

Hurm,...
