I recently did an install on an Enterprise-250 using the snapshot
CD available on many of the FTP mirror sites in the "snapshots/sparc64"
directory. That CD has the 64-bit time_t change made in it so at this
point it is probably the best thing to try first.
That said, I haven't tried the normal 5.2.1 CD's in an Enterprise-250
but I don't know of any reason they should not work.
