I think so. An 030 may be a problem with current kernel versions,
but AFAIHH there is already a fix in Linux upstream.

We do not use d-i at the moment.

Ahem, well. There are snapshots from some time ago, which
you can dist-upgrade. I guess I could make some new ones
like those, although I’d like to ensure up-to-date-ness of
some core packages like gcc first, and it will take me a bit.

This is historic (maybe the entire site is). We use kernel 3.13
at the moment, just like the rest of Debian. It’s just that there
is no “testing” distribution, and no releases.

IIRC, it was possible for me to boot the machine into the 68000 by
disabling the 030 board. That meant that I had to sacrifice the memory
and the use of the harddrive on that board and keep the harddrive on my
A2091?? as my boot drive. Unfortunately that drive is now crashed, and
I also have to rebuild that boot drive. Oh well, I LOVE ancient
history, but at least it's an Amiga! I still have the ancient SCSI
connections, including a ZIP drive and also an Amiga 500. I ordered
some Amiga harddrives from Australia once upon a time so I should be
able to come up with something by the time kernel 3.15 comes out.
Meanwhile I shall diligently study your thread, and should some updates
be posted, Please, Please, let me know!
