The ISO appears to boot, at least on an AS500 5/266.  Cool!

One install nit.  This box has a TGA card in it.  When I use a
graphics console, it says: "/stand/sysinstall running as init on
serial console"   However, its not running on the serial console.
In fact, I/O to sysinstall seems to be going into the bitbucket.

All is fine if I set the console to serial prior to the install.
Is this behaviour documented?
