Package: installation-reports

Boot method: netboot
Image version: etch beta1 netboot image for netwinder,
http://ftp.debian.org/debian/dists/testing/main/installer-arm/beta1/images/netwinder/netboot/boot.img

Comments/Problems:
It looks like the netwinder has a hard limit on the size of the netboot image. That's what I get when trying to netboot etch beta1 on it: 

Autoboot - Press the 'star' key to abort autoboot [5 4 3 2 1 ]
Receiving bootfile netwinder.img from bootserver 192.168.1.102

Note that it only reads 4198400 bytes (8200 512-byte blocks), while the
netboot image size is 4357664. The sarge image, which is slightly smaller
(4080492 bytes) fits into this memory region and boots fine.
