>Description:

I used sysinst on sparc64 and tried to update a installation. I got tons of
"read" errors. (terminal controll sequences stripped)

 ** /dev/rsd0a
 ** File system is clean; not checking
 Finished

 sysinst: read: No such file or directory
 sysinst: read: No such file or directory
 sysinst: read: No such file or directory
 sysinst: read: No such file or directory
 sysinst: read: No such file or directory
 sysinst: read: No such file or directory
 sysinst: read: No such file or directory

 Okay, the first part of the procedure is finished.  Sysinst has written a
 disklabel to the target disk, and fsck'ed the new partitions you specified
 for the target disk.

It would probably be usefull, if the error message would mention the file name.
I have no idea if this indicates a real problem....

>How-To-Repeat:
run sysinst and log output
