    Hi,

    the best method to install SuSE Linux/SPARC over a serial console
    is to boot the old YaST1. Enter the following on the SILO boot
    prompt:

    "yast1 TERM=vt100" or "yast1 TERM=vt102".

    YaST1 has sometimes problems with the default TERM value.
    If you have a different terminal, maybe you have to try another
    TERM value. One of the both always works for me, depending which
    terminal program I'm using.

Linux is like a Vorlon.  It is incredibly powerful, gives terse,
cryptic answers and has a lot of things going on in the background.
