Unofficial debian-installer (d-i) test images and iso's are available for m68k/vme at <http://people.debian.org/~smarenka/d-i/test/vme/>. You need a minimum of something like 24 MB of ram to test these images. We plan on pushing that number down, but it's not there yet. The home page for d-i has pointers to the Installation HOWTO and Manual at <http://www.debian.org/devel/debian-installer/>. The images include cdrom (bootable only under bvme6000), tftp, and floppy (which should be bootable). All the images are setup to work with a 2.4 kernel. I'd like to know if the 2.4 kernel works, since the 2.2 kernel may get dropped from sarge. If all else fails, I can build images which work with a 2.2 kernel. To get regulary daily building support for vme, someone will need to figure out how to install vmelilo without root, see <http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=250578>. As far as I know, these images have never been tested and may well not work. I've completed as much of the m68k/vme port of debian-installer as I can for now. The rest is up to you. -- Stephen R.
