It would be helpful if you'd tell us what version of the installer you used.

Curse these modular sparc kernels. :-/ Well, we can do that, I guess.
Patch attached.
I do notice that we _try_ to enable discover's sbus probing for sparc:
case "$SUBARCH" in
sparc/*) sbus=",sbus" ;;
esac
discover --format="%m:%V %M\n" --disable-all \
--enable=pci,ide,scsi${sbus},pcmcia ide scsi cdrom
ethernet bridge |
If this doesn't work, is that also a bug in discover? I see in the
changelog that sbus detection of sparc64 was supposed to be fixed in
discover1 1.6.6.
