I am experiencing the very same problem with my Ultra5, and it still
happens even with the latest daily
( http://cdimage.debian.org/pub/cdimage-testing/sarge_d-i/sparc/20040519/sarge-sparc-netinst.iso )
I have tried "linux root=/dev/rd/0 devfs=mount rw" and a few other boot
parameters, but nothing seems to help.
Has anyone actually had any success with booting sarge d-i on a Ultra5
or Ultra10?
