 uh... indeed there's something my U10 doesn't like (for a change :)

 I'll try this - using the sparc directory wia FTP.
 The only weird thing is that, you choose sets before indicating the
 source. So I suspect I won't be able to choose 'kern-GENERIC_SUN4U'.

 So the process would be install it like a sparc.
 Then find a way to put 'kern-GENERIC_SUN4U' on your configured disk.
 Netbooting the machine or using the shell from CD, I suppose ?
