Package: boot-floppies
Version: N/A; reported 2001-11-25
Severity: normal
Installing via tftpboot.img will stall at installation of libc6.1, as
has been reported to debian-alpha several times,
e.g. http://lists.debian.org/debian-alpha/2001/debian-alpha-200110/msg00010.html. "rgh" told me on IRC:
<rgh> mellum: re "init q", when I had that problem ia64, it was
because I forgot to boot with root=/dev/ram
<rgh> mellum: without that, the kernel wants to do it's initrd magic,
and runs /linuxrc before starting sbin/init. linuxrc is linked to
init, so effectively init gets run as pid 12 (or something > 1,
anyway)
<rgh> linuxrc is run with a pid > 1, and the kernel expects that to
return before it starts init as pid 1
<rgh> root=/dev/ram makes the kernel realise that the ramdisk si a
real ramdisk, and not an initrd, so it disables the running of
linuxrc
So we need to find a way to force this parameter.

There have been reports on TFTP working now, so I close this bug.
