I can test now that the ab machine built me sparc64 image.

dhclient seems to work (i don't really know, my isp hands me broken
dhcp answers right now). Setting ip address in sysinst worked.

But I couldn't do it with ifconfig (that sysinst uses !?)

# ifconfig le0 
le0: flags=8863<UP,BROADCAST,NOTRAILERS,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
        address: 08:00:20:7c:b2:71
        media: Ethernet autoselect (10baseT)
        status: active
        inet 0.0.0.0 netmask 0xfffffc00 broadcast 0.0.0.0
# /sbin/ifconfig le0 inet 213.89.252.200 netmask 255.255.252.0
# ifconfig le0
le0: flags=8863<UP,BROADCAST,NOTRAILERS,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
        address: 08:00:20:7c:b2:71
        media: Ethernet autoselect (10baseT)
        status: active
        inet 0.0.0.0 netmask 0xfffffc00 broadcast 0.0.0.0
# ifconfig lo0
lo0: flags=8009<UP,LOOPBACK,MULTICAST> mtu 33184
# /sbin/ifconfig lo0 127.0.0.1
# ifconfig lo0
lo0: flags=8009<UP,LOOPBACK,MULTICAST> mtu 33184
        inet 0.0.0.0 netmask 0xff000000

Weird.

But when I had installed it it and the installed ifconfig it worked
(showing the address and setting it). I also found out that the
install ifconfig worked too, but only when setting address, not
showing.

# /sbin/ifconfig le0  inet 213.89.252.200 delete
# /sbin/ifconfig le0 inet 213.89.252.200 netmask 255.255.252.0
# /mnt/sbin/ifconfig le0
le0: flags=8863<UP,BROADCAST,NOTRAILERS,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
        address: 08:00:20:7c:b2:71
        media: Ethernet autoselect (10baseT)
        status: active
        inet 213.89.252.200 netmask 0xfffffc00 broadcast 213.89.255.255
        inet6 fe80::a00:20ff:fe7c:b271%le0 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x1
# /sbin/ifconfig le0
le0: flags=8863<UP,BROADCAST,NOTRAILERS,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
        address: 08:00:20:7c:b2:71
        media: Ethernet autoselect (10baseT)
        status: active
        inet 0.0.0.0 netmask 0xfffffc00 broadcast 0.0.0.0

That can explain why sysinst didn't find the values.

Installing bootblocks worked now too, thanks for fixing this.

I'll try dhcp again when my isp have unbroken itself.
