I tried installing 6.1-BETA4 to my Ultra 60 yesterday using a recently downloaded ISO. I ran through it twice and both times I end up with no kernel and hardly any files inside the target root partition. I told it to install base + man using express install and custom dist selection. Both times it acted like it was installing base, made no indications of anything being wrong. I was installing from an external cdrom drive for which I had created a slightly custom devalias (or typed out the whole path for boot /pci/....) since the cdrom drive was external (on controller 3,1 instead of 3 in the normal path in the PROM. Is this in anyway a known issue or should I spend more time with different install options or ISOs to help debug?
