Bug#251538: no conclusive test
I tried to test installation on Sparc classic (sparc32) with the netinst
iso from http://cdimage.debian.org/pub/cdimage-testing/daily/sparc/current/
as of 2004-10-14, but it stops booting after trying to load the initrd.
Using the netboot images from
http://people.debian.org/~joshk/d-i/images/daily/sparc32/netboot/
I get somewhat further, the installer starts and realizes that there
ist not much memory. So we should conclude that it is really no longer
possible to install with only 16 MByte RAM without major surgery.
As long as nobody else with more memory in his sparc32 reports similar
errors, we should blame the hardware and close the report.
