I was digging around the ftp site and I found the install sets for 3.1,
so I grabbed them and went about installing everything on my sparcbook.
The problem is, with the install kernel, the console is 66x27 chars,
which apparently, sysinst is having a problem with. When I get to the
part to set up the disk slices, it would error out, saying the screen
was too small. If I set my COLUMNS=80, it would get through that
section, with screen-drawing issues, but would error out after writing
the label with
"sysinst: failed to allocate output window"
Guess I'll have to install the old-fashioned way.
