c0t0d0. It took me some time until I've found this forum thread and managed to change the disk label back to SMI.
I'd like to use the installation program in English.
VT100 is the perfect selection, because I've used minicom to connect to this Netra T1 box.
Of course I want this box to connect to my network.
I've selected QFE0, becuase this interface was recognized for the first time.
QFE0 is going to have a static IP address.
Pick a host name.
This is going to be the static local IP address of this host.
Subnet configuration and the rest of network configuration. It is quite obvious I think.
Time zone configuration.
Disable all services which would make this system available though the network. Although will be a real pain to set up everything manually after the installation has been completed, I like to do it this way for security reasons.
I was in two minds at this point and I really did not know whether I should choose ZFS or not. Though ZFS has been out there for at least five years at it must be an excellent choice, I've chosen UFS after all, since our client I'am currently working for does not use ZFS at all. I also would like to learn about the legacy SVM.
I only want to have those pieces of software which are absolutely neccessary.
The tricky part is coming: partitioning of disks. The second one will be set up after installation.
It is usually hard to decide how to lay out partitions on the disk. Yes, I know, by using ZFS it might have been easier.
The installation is finally running in a couple of minutes I can use my system.
This is the first boot. Basically there is no point in choosing the keyboard layout, since Sun Netra T1 has neither a VGA output nor a keyboard interface. It only has a serial console...
Apparently something must have been gone wrong around the locale.
