Maybe it's no help, but I have installed both 1.4.3 and 1.5.2 on an IPC
with only 12MB of memory (actually the former with only 8MB) by floppy/ftp.

I have had sysinst fail at disklabel with 1.6.2 on machines with more
memory (36MB).  AFAICT, this happens on machines where I have used a
hard disk which has never been in a Sun.  Until I work things out, I'll
just format these disks first with Solaris2.6, which seems to solve the
problem.
