Bug#275784: sparc32 vmlinuz mis-labelled sparc64 in d-i pre-rc2 boot.img



Package: install
Version: pre-rc2

I am using debian-installer pre-rc2 on a Sun Ultra 1 Workstation Model 170 (A11) using a 
boot floppy image boot.img from here:
http://people.debian.org/~joshk/d-i/images/2004-09-29/sparc32/floppy/
and here:
http://people.debian.org/~joshk/d-i/images/2004-09-29/sparc32/floppy/2.6/

>From what I understand this should have automatically tried to load the vmlinuz-sparc32 
image but instead it automatically fails trying vmlinuz-sparc64 (it says something like "cannot 
find vmlinuz-sparc64 (unknown ROMFS error)" and stops).

I can manually type 'boot=/vmlinuz-sparc32' and it succesfully finds it and tries to unpack it 
(tho, an unrelated problem, it fails to fully unpack it, presumably bcos I wrote the disk on i386 
when the Sparc wants the disk written on a Sun m/c).

I have the same problem with both 2.4 and 2.6 kernel boot floppy images
