I'm trying to install Debian/Etch on an Amiga 1200 equipped with a Blizzard 1230mkIV turboboard.
CPU: 68030@50 FPU: 68882@50 RAM: 64mb
For that, I'm using the images that can be found at:
http://ftp.es.debian.org/debian/dists/unstable/main/installer-m68k/current/images/
Specifically, the nativehd initrd and the vmlinuz-2.6.18-4-amiga kernel, with the amiboot that can be found in /tools.
I had to gunzip the kernel image for it to start, and I've gunzipped the initrd too while trying things out; amiboot just doesn't seem to be able to gunzip stuff.
I do and get the following.

From there, I find this following line interesting:
initrd overwritten (0x0369c000 < 0x68281000) - disabling it.
So the initrd gets corrupted somehow and so the installer doesn't get to start.
From here, I don't know what to do/where to look.
