Initial boot
------------
I had to use "boot net:bootp", but the installation manual only talks
about "boot net:dhcp" (and "boot net", but that's for RARP). "boot
net:bootp" should be added to the installation manual.
When booting with any oth the three boot commands (see above) bogl
starts but doesn't draw anything on the screen. I can change the VC,
but when I change back to VC1 the cursor disappears and the contents
of the previous VC remains on the screen. The log on VC4 looks like
debian-installer thinks it is displaying the main menu.
Jö.
