I had a friend build me the current 2.0 (head, as of
last night) tree for sparc64, and turn it into an
ISO disk image.  The build was cross-built from a
Solaris 2.10(beta) machine.

I attempted to install this onto a Netra T1 model 105,
off the local CDROM on the machine.

The disk image booted OK, and was able to start up sysinst,
but labeling of the disk failed.

In particular, the command:

# disklabel -w -r -f /tmp/disktab sd0 'dorkfs'
write: No such file or directory

(where 'dorkfs' is what I told it to name the disk)

If I try just:

# disklabel -w -f /tmp/disktab sd0 'dorkfs'

I don't get an error, but the label doesn't seem to get written
to the disk (nor, should it be, on my reading of the manual page).

Any help or tips would be appreciated. (Output from kernel
boot messsages is attached.)
