Bug#659114: debian-installer-6.0-netboot-amd64: addsupport for netboot with vmware

[Bas van den Dikkenberg <bas@dikkenberg.net>]

Package: debian-installer-6.0-netboot-amd64
Version: 20110106
Severity: wishlist

Dear Maintainer,

Please consider adding drivers for SCSI storage controller: LSI Logic / Symbios Logic 53c1030 PCI-X Fusion-MPT Dual Ultra320 SCSI and for Ethernet controller: VMware VMXNET3 Ethernet Controller.
Both are used in vmware esx/esxi/player/workstaion envirements, and it would be nice if they where supported. They are currently support with a cd install but not with network boot.

With kind regards,


Bas van den Dikkenberg
