Install test of debian-testing-hppa-netinst.iso from 20050917
This was on a B180, graphical console.

It doesn't do that with the sarge installer.
I started digging in to this and found the archdetect on the
tmpfs doesn't work on this ISO:
/bin/archdetect: /lib/libdebian-installer.so.4: version `LIBDI_4.5' not found
There's a mix of versions of libdebian-installer [u]debs on the ISO:
../mnt/pool/main/libd/libdebian-installer/libdebian-installer4-udeb_0.35_hppa.udeb
../mnt/pool/main/libd/libdebian-installer/libdebian-installer4_0.34_hppa.deb
../mnt/pool/main/libd/libdebian-installer/libdebian-installer-extra4-udeb_0.35_hppa.udeb
but the libraries in those seem ok.
There is a libdebian-installer.so.4 on the initrd that does not
define LIBDI_4.5, so I guess the problem is with the d-i build
(build machine?) using an old libdebian-installer4. Maybe the
hppa initrd is just not very current. Guess I should ask Jeff
Bailey about that..
