Alright, I got things a little more sorted out now. I was using a
(really) old debian CD that I burned a while ago, sarge r1 I think.
Now I got the latest amd64 sid netinstall cd from amd64.debian.net.
Now debian-installer/framebuffer=false works. However, it still
hangs, and looks all messed up (the Chinese characters look like
little squares instead, and the menu is misaligned)
I figured out that the menu comes up OK if I use 'linux vga=771'
However, it still locks up solid at the menu to select a keyboard.
I used DEBCONF_DEBUG=5 and BOOT_DEBUG=1, and I can see that right
before it goes to the menu it has a FATAL error, but it vanishes
before I can read it. The pause key doesn't work, either.
I tried some other boot menu options, but nothing seems to help.
Anyone have any suggestions?
Thanks
Chris
