Sparc64 cdrom & netboot install

[Thomas Poindessous <thomas@poindessous.com>]

Hi,

today I tried to install 20040520 sid netboot image (
http://ftp.fr.debian.org/debian/dists/sid/main/installer-sparc/20040520/images/sparc64/netboot/
) and 20040527 cdrom image (
http://gluck.debian.org/cdimage/testing/sarge_d-i/sparc/20040527/ ).

First cdrom image :
- can't install since insmod/modprobe don't work and I can't use ide-cd.
  Can we drop insmod from busybox and use modutils just for sparc ?
- screen problems (explained later).

Second, netboot image :
- i used ramdisk_size=8192 param.
- langagechooser screen was garbaged (lines for ja_* was shorter). I
  took some screenshots, you can see them in
  http://thomas.poindessous.free.fr/
- I got the scary error screen "modprobe -v ide-cd"

- everything else was fine in english and in french mode !

Thanks a lot !
