I am using a serial console, on hppa. When deboostrap is installing
the debs, I get text scrolling up my screen like this:
Unpacking ppp (from .../archives/ppp_2.4.1-1_hppa.deb) ...
Selecting previously deselected package sysklogd.
Unpacking sysklogd (from .../sysklogd_1.4.1-2_hppa.deb) ...
Selecting previously deselected package tasksel.
Unpacking tasksel (from .../tasksel_1.1-1_hppa.deb) ...
Apart from looking a mess, this has the effect of scrolling any
dialog boxes off the top of the screen.
I havn't tried a woody install on a graphical console, so I
don't know where the text goes in that case.

Closing this bug, which has been fixed in boot floppies for a while
now, most likely. Hopefully the problem you reported is really fixed.
If not, let us know, and/or reopen the bug.
