Oops, always forget something important ;). Yes, it's the sarge netboot.
Additionally, if the machine is left for a few minutes it locks
hard, so there is definitely a dmfe driver problem.
I've just done a bit more searching with Google and this bug looks
the same as bugs 284339, 284730 and 360699; apologies for the
duplication.
I will try the etch installer, thanks for the info.
