Hmm, when I try to boot of this iso, the boot process seems to
be starting OK, but then after lists out the various devices
that it found (acd0 being the last one), it drops me into a
"mountroot" prompt, asking for the Manual root filesystem
specification.  I try things like 'ufs:acd0a', or even 'ufs:ad0a'
(the root partition on the hard disk from the previous install)
but nothing seems to successfully get me past that point.

I am trying this on an ultra-10, one which I had installed the
previous ISO on.  I don't remember hitting this mountroot prompt
at that time.  I don't see it in the installation notes for
sparc64.  (have those installation notes been updated at all?)

Is anyone else seeing this?  Am I just doing something dumb here?
