Ok, you may have a problem with bterm.

Can you do this test :

netboot with param "init=/bin/sh"

You should start with a shell, then execute this command :

/usr/bin/bterm -f /unifont.bdf /bin/ls

And can you do a "dmesg | more" and reports anything related to
framebuffer.

But it can be the same bug as hppa, so can you also try this command :

LD_DEBUG=reloc DEBIAN_FRONTEND=newt /usr/share/debconf/frontend /usr/bin/main-menu

Thanks a lot !
