Hi Bob,
Thanks for your interest.
This is in pursuit of Bug#728936 (and related bugs #715408 and 731939) wherein the USB keyboard and mouse are not recognized by the installer, thus making it impossible to specify any options past the bootloader.
The idea is to pressed the installer to auto-answer all debian-installer questions up-to and including loading the ssh server and "network console", thus giving me an alternate way to get in and poke-around in the installation. Hopefully, with this I can find out why the USB keyboard and mouse are not being recognized, and propose a fix.
Do you have any experience making a pre seeded bootable CD for powerpc? If so, could you share it with us?
Rick
