My fault.  I failed to set dhcp-range in dnsmasq.conf, thinking 
that it wasn't needed for a static address.  Yes, netbooting is 
slick.  The Sparc now boots to where it tries to configure the 
console or keyboard.  This is on the screen.

If you are using a SUN type 4 keyboard, please enter "sun-type4".
Terminal type? [sun] sun-type4
Erase is backspace.

This installer now uses ...
   ...
(I) Install/Upgrade, (H)alt or (S)hell?

Here the keyboard is frozen.  If it is trying to identify the keyboard, 
why is the prompt "Terminal type?"?  Any work-around?

Thanks,              ... Peter E.
