No offense, but I have better things to do with the next 6 months.

The document you referenced on how to spin an installable tree is pretty
much obsolete now. Use pungi.

Pungi passes these flags to make the SPARC ISO images:

-G', '/boot/isofs.b', '-B', '...', '-s', '/boot/silo.conf',
'-sparc-label', '"sparc"'

The old hack in mkinitrd doesn't exist anymore because... it isn't
needed. Silo added an isofs.b specifically to make that obsolete.

Any other accusations that you'd like to make? I was nowhere near Dallas
on that day. ;)
