	---------------------------------------------------------------------------

	At this point I don't know what to do.  Typing "? yields

	use one of : raid0[a-h] raid1[a-h] raid2[a-h] raid3[a-h] hme0 wd0[a-h] halt
	root device:

	Where is the "md0a" choice for the "microroot" install I would expect here?

First of all:  sparc64 does not support RAMDISKs at the moment so
you need either a miniroot or real filesystem.

	I have no clue what to use/do at this point.  if I specify "wd0", I get asked
	for "dump device" and "file system" type, after which I see (if I type in
	"wd0b" and "ffs", respectively - even though I'm convinced these answers are
	wrong anyway)

	root on wd0a dumps on wd0b
	pciide0:0:0: lost interrupt
		type: ata tc_bcount: 512: tc_skip:0
	pciide0:0:0: lost interrupt
		type: ata tc_bcount: 512: tc_skip:0
	pciide0:0:0: lost interrupt
		type: ata tc_bcount: 512: tc_skip:0

		type: ata tc_bcount: 512: tc_skip:0
	pciide0:0:0: lost interrupt
		type: ata tc_bcount: 512: tc_skip:0
	pciide0:0:0: bus-master DMA error: missing interrupt, status=0x20
	wd0: transfer error, downgrading to PIO mode 4
	wd0(pciide0:0:0): using PIO mode 4
	wd0c: DMA error reading fsbn 0 ( wd0 bn 0; cn 0 tn 0 sn 0), retring

	Followed by another 4 sets of "lost interrupt" messages and then a

	wd0c: device timeout reading fsbn 0 (wd0 bn 0; cn 0 tn 0 sn 0), retrying

	Eventually it returns (after several more of the above cycles) with

	wd0: disk label read error
	cannot mount root, error = 6
	root device (default wd0a): 

	What now?  Why is the kernel choking on reading the internal EIDE hard disk?

	Why are there no "md0[a-h]" and/or "cd0[a-h]" choices for "root device", as
	one might expect?

Second: I don't see a probe of `cd0' in the above boot messages
so the kernel may not have probed your CDROM drive.

	I realize there are "traditional" methods of installing (load a miniroot and
	boot from it; or set it all up manually from Solaris, as per the INSTALL
	file), but I was really looking forward to being able to do the full install
	while being booted off of the CD-ROM ... (also, there's no "miniroot.fs" as
	per the INSTALL document, I don't know what to do with what's in "misc" -
	"ofwboot" et al. - and finally, there's "ramdisk.fs.gz" but you can't use that
	from a CD-R ... )
