Comments/Problems:
Partman failed to partition 2GB disks. Both manual and automatic partitioning failed.
After creating a 0,1GB /boot partition the remainung disk space is miscalculated as 771kByte.
An error message said: Disk to small for automatic partitioning....
This came true for a ST32171WS and an IBM DCAS-32160.
Putting everything on a single "large" partition failed, too.
Apt-cache search found no package containing partman. I used another Sparc box to do the partitioning using parted.
<Description of the install, in prose, and any thoughts, comments
and ideas you had during the initial install.>
>From dmesg:
linuxrc[7]: Unimplemented SPARC system call 188
Freeing unused kernel memory: 128k freed
umount[11]: Unimplemented SPARC system call 188
cat[12]: Unimplemented SPARC system call 188
Comments: Great ! Debian works on a Sparc32 ! Please continue support for Sparc hardware.
In the bug report, describe what the problem is, including the last visible kernel messages in the event of a kernel hang. Describe the steps that you did which brought the system into the problem state.

Jörn
