Re: powerpc daily sid_d-i CD builds working again
This one seems to have lost debian-boot, sending there.

My analysis here, is that, since there is an output, we are already runnin in
some kind of framebuffer devices, either atyfb or offb probably.
So, the message seems to be in error, or something, i am not sure, didn't look
at the code. It is possible that it is i386 specific, and goes looking for
vesafb, but this doesn't explain why eddy was able to make it work (presumably
on a radeonfb based powerbook). I think i remember that we had some special
casing for radeonfb/powerpc somewhere.
