I do not have a Sparc Server with Debian installer on my hands now. But
please drop the idea of using Z-Modem. You do have networking running,
do you? If so, you've got to be able to start a ssh session, to do some
smart things remotely. That's makes life a lot easier. But true, you
need to start the Installer with Expert mode first, for getting the ssh
option. Within the installer, you can execute a terminal.
For Magaraid there are some kernel modules. 1) megaraid.ko 2)
megaraid_mbox.ko 3) megaraid_mm.ko 4) megaraid_sas.ko
Not sure these are compiled. I would say, you need sas, but verify.
# modinfo megaraid_sas
I do not know what udeb package exactly has megaraid modules.
http://ftp.ports.debian.org/debian-ports/pool-sparc64/main/l/linux/
But if you find out, you got to be able installing it using anna-
install. And if you need a firmware? I check this with dmesg.
# dmesg | grep -i firmware
If it ask for one, you will see a message.
Thanks,
