Launching di via NFS | worked fine. However, the particular di I was testing only supported the | CD-ROM install; thus, I did not get any further. hmm. the 44P with a Regata-Board? I'm not sure, but I think you need a special kernel with different options then the one, which is currently shipped with d-i. It would, for example, a good idea to support serial console mode. Or are you one of the people, which plugin a graphic cards, because IBM doesn't sell the ibm3151 terminals anymore? :) Please, send us your experiences. It would be cool, if sarge supports the IBM RS/6k machines out of the box.
