What I did and saw on the ORACLE S7-2 with an LDOM is a slightly wonky
install menu process. However that may simply be because the console
to the LDOM is via telnet and that *always* is wonky weird for a LDOM.

I could not select some things on the install menu and hitting TAB would
just act like a return key at times. Other times it would be acting like
a TAB char. No idea what that is caused by and I blame the weird telnet
session for the LDOM console.

So there was no way to use the snazzy remote install process over SSH
and that left me with the wonky console behavior. So wonky that my arrow
keys were sometimes interpreted as a return char. Took me a few attempts
to get the install done.

Eventually I was able to finish the install and reboot :

Yup. That is wrong. Should say "SPARC-S7" thus :

So some important patches are absent.
