As I had some time during that long week-end I do some testing more and
when I correct the "boot" line to :

amiboot-5.6 -d -k vmlinuz-2.4.27-amiga -r initrd.gz root=/dev/ram
ramdisk_size=15000 debian-installer/framebuffer=false
video=vga:600x480:8 

all went well and the installation succeed.
-------------------------------------------

initrd.gz used : from nativehd
iso image used : mini-image (sarge-m68k-businesscard.iso # 39Mo

all was in the same directory (kernel, amiboot, initrd.gz iso image)

So it was only a small thing, but I wonder if there is a "default" video
mode or if something is wrong in the video detection.
