I wanted to create a fully automated netboot installation that allows
to continue installation over SSH. This to track the sparc keyboard problems.
I need network-console on the initrd because if it is downloaded from the
net, it will not be executed as it is inserted into the menu before the step
that loads it (#288053).
Everything works fine, except that network-console crashes on me when
it runs ssh-keygen:

Jan 12 19:47:35 main-menu[463]: WARNING **: Menu item 'network-console' failed.
If I continue the installation, scp will fail with the same bus error.
My netboot image has kernel 2.6.8-2.
network-console runs fine if it is downloaded from the net with joshk's images
(both 20041219 which has 2.6.8-1 and 20050111 which has 2.6.8-2).
Hope someone has a clue what could be going on here.
One idea I have: could this be a library reduction issue?
Some info on what I did:
- image build from trunk in unstable environment using udebs from unstable;
- changes made in repo:
