Bug#275701: installation-reports: [sparc] tries to start bterm on inappropriate hardware



Package: installation-reports
Version: prerc2
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable

On my sparc ultra-30, debian-installer once more is trying to start
bterm on a creator 3d framebuffer where it will not work.  Using
"debian-installer/framebuffer=false" as a silo command line option did
not work, it still tried to start bterm.  This makes insallation
imposible.

We had this fixed a few months ago.

For the record, bterm will never work on sbus or upa bus framebuffers
without either major redesigns of bterm or the kernel drivers.  (Both
of which are unlikly.)
