Comments/Problems:
Booting from the netinst CD hangs. The last messages are from aboot:
aboot: loading uncompressed boot/vmlinuz...
aboot: loading compressed boot/vmlinuz...
aboot: zero-filling 869010 bytes at 0xfffffc00017114b6
aboot: loading initrd (4387840 bytes/4285 blocks) at 0xfffffc0007a020000
aboot: starting kernel boot/vmlinuz with arguments ramdisk_size=16384 root=/dev/ram devfs=mount,dall
Then it hangs. The machine ran Debian/sarge previously; it has no known
hardware failures. The same problem occured with the RC1 installer.

If you installed over serial console, the entries for the regular ttys
will be commented out in /etc/inittab. You'll need to change that.
Closing your installation report as the installation now seems to have
been successful. (You can still reply to this message if you'd like to
follow up.)
Cheers,
