From the end of the syslog :
I think this is pretty much well known but I will report it here
regardless. From the latest sparc64 installer images I eventually
see grub-ieee1275 fails.

I have no clue which image you used and I'm not sure what you did to end up in a situation
where the installer would try to download the grub2 packages over the net which are actually
on the installation ISO, so they don't have to be downloaded.

I have no clue which image you used and I'm not sure what you did to end up in a situation
where the installer would try to download the grub2 packages over the net which are actually
on the installation ISO, so they don't have to be downloaded.
I also just verified that by installing the latest sparc64 ISO inside an LDOM in offline mode
and grub2 was installed without any issues with no package mirror being set up.
The only situation where I can imagine this would happen is when the repositories have a newer version of the package than the installer
image, and update to the latest version during installation is enabled (probably the default).
May be possibly because I always use the "expert mode" option in the installer. That allows me to setup the network without DHCP.
I will try again with the default trivial installer.
I am doing a re-install with the "default" installer and I choose the
most trivial config options. Which is to say the partition options were whatever seems most trivial. Full disk. New partition table. Everything
in one partition. The default seems to be 512MB ext2 bootable /boot and
then a large slice and 1G of swap.
Eventually I see a big red box :
[!!] Configure the package manager
apt configuration problem
An attempt to configure apt to install additional packages from the
media failed.
Here I select "continue" and things seem to move along.
I guess there is something oddball in the expert level menu option but
we don't really test for that. OKay, this works in the easy mode option.
