Which Debian version did you install ?
IRC, the Lenny d-i can't make this system bootable : the flash-kernel
script doesn't recognized the platform to flash the kernel properly.
You need at least Squeeze, or at least flash with the Squeeze script
version donwloaded apart.

Strange, it sounds good.
Mine was booted with almost the same :
lothar:~# cat /proc/cmdline
console=ttyS0,115200 rw root=/dev/md0 mem=256M@0xa0000000

With the flash-kernel script. His purpose is to write the installed
kernel on the flash to do normal boot.

I believe that you can't :-/ AFAIK, this machine boots only from
flash, with a kernel specialy crafted. The flash-script "wraps" the
kernel in the zImage file with some bits needed for booting (the
machine id).
