Bug#375311: debian-installer: [powerpc] oldworld mac BootX booted netboot fails with garbled screen

[Daniel Dickinson <alemc@bmts.com>]

Package: debian-installer
Severity: important


Using the 2006-06-24 vmlinux, initrd.gz, and mini.iso booted the BootX
kernel screen flashes for a moment and then the screen becomes
garbled (I think part of the kernel bootstap process is working, but
not enough to even get the loading of compiled-in drivers).
