I hooked up a serial terminal instead. The kernel booted, but after the

If you connect a serial cable, you must disconnect the keyboard.
which I did (or used console=ttya), but the point was that I got all
the kernel messages on the serial terminal up to the point where the
root filesystem was mounted, but I did not see anything from dbootstrap.
When you say "or used console=ttya", do you mean you physically
disconnected the keyboard? That's very very important. And yes, it will
make a difference between the kernel showing to serial and the
dbootstrap not.
I just did a serial cosnsole install two days ago using my tftp image,
on an ultrasparc 30, with no problems. So it isn't a bug in the
dbootstrap program.
Yes, no keyboard attached on the Blade. Are there any parameters that
controls how dbootstrap talks to the console?
I also just tried serial console installation on an Ultra10 (with
keyboard disconnected) from the same netinst CD, and that worked as
expected.
Anyway, since the IDE controller driver is not working either, I would
not get much futher even if I could interact with dbootstrap.
Thus USB, IDE, and serial dbootstrap all seems to be broken for me, (and
the machine still runs Solaris without any problems).
Thanks,
Arne
