armhf installer?
It seems there are some unofficial builds at
http://people.debian.org/~zumbi/di-armhf/ but only for one particular
peice of hardware (and it's not the one I have)
I tried building d-i "mx5_netboot" following the instructioions on the
wiki. However it failed with

Further even if it were to build I couldn't test it as it doesn't match
my hardware (i'm running a beagleboard xm).
Are the errors i'm seeing just caused by ongoing kernel transitions in
sid or are they indicative of a bigger problem?
What needs to be done to get armhf d-i into the official daily builds
system (and eventually into releases)?
What needs to be done to support the beagleboard series in armhf d-i?
