This has not been implemented on the beta 7.0 for UltraSparc, but you can try to
force a specific method this way:
on SILO boot, try "linux cdrom", it should bypass the selection on the stage1
install, but at this point you have to use auto_inst.cfg for the stage2, which
is generated automatically after an install (with ddebug.log and install.log,
you get auto_inst.cfg.pl file).
If you want to perlform an more sophisticated install, use a network
installation with kickstart, then on SILO boot, use "ks display
<your_display_value>" so that install (stage2) will go to the given display. But
you have to use kickstart install for that to setup a network before the stage2.
