I just tested this again on the ultra 5 with IDE plus scsi adapter
and also an ultra 60 with scsi only.
1. The netinst daily-build that I have labelled 22 March installs
without issue on both machines.
2. Using the netinst daily-build of 31 May, the partitioner fails
if I try to use the whole disk, but works if I create an empty Sun
disk label with fdisk ("s"), return to "Detect disks", delete the
two partitions, and install to the largest available free space.
3. Of course, using the netinst daily-build of 31 May, the IDE
"Detect and mount CD-ROM" issue and the minor silo issue (this is
not the show-stopper as in Alpha1) only occur on the IDE machine.

I don't know if he tried this.
