Hi Stephen,
I meant to point out that I have new netinst d-i cdroms available. <http://people.debian.org/~smarenka/d-i/m68k/cds/daily/>
I tried the etch one on Atari and ran into two problems:- paths on TOS are using the backslash as separator, so the bootstrap failed to locate the ramdisk and bailed out. Copying the bootargs and bootstrap to HD and editing it fixed this.
- EtherNEC hangs with interrupts from stopped card - ethernec needs to be built as a module, not compiled in for the time being. I've tried to fix this in the driver, but no success so far.
What _does_ work is using long file names on the ISO even from TOS. I'll try with a few homebrew kernels next ...
Cheers, Michael
