Hello,
I installed Debian on a SparcStation and used the tftpboot.img method.
The installation procedure worked fine, but I created a /boot partition
and the /etc/silo.conf file had the entry
1/vmlinuz
The system didn't boot. When I loaded the rescue disk I found in the
boot partition that
vmlinuz -> vmlinuz-2.2.17
There was no vmlinuz-2.2.17, but a vmlinuz-2.2.17-sun4cdm
I changed the soft link and it booted fine.
Walter.
PS
Thanks for all your work.

Thank you very much for your bug report. We believe the issue you
reported is solved as of boot-floppies 2.3.1. That is the woody
version of boot-floppies, which is available in the archive, or, some
SPARC and i386, at
<URL:http://people.debian.org/~aph/debian/dists/woody/main/>.
If you feel your bug is still outstanding, please let us know or
reopen your bug -- see <http://www.debian.org/Bugs/> for instructions
how to do that.
We are not longer working on Potato boot-floppies, except for critical
issues. If you feel that your bug hasn't been fixed as of
boot-floppies 2.2.22 (the latest Potato version), then you we need to
reopen your bug and put the 'potato' tag on it. Please be sparing --
the more we are distracted with Potato issues, the less effort we are
able to put into Woody boot-floppies.
Again, thanks for your report. Bug reports are a significant
contribution to Debian. We apologize that it probably took so long to
fix the issue you reported.
