Because it is not a problem we can solve in the installer, nor is it
apparently a problem that can be solved in the kernel: there are two series
of different, partially incompatible hardware which use the same PCI IDs...

This is documented in:
http://www.debian.org/releases/etch/sparc/ch02s06.html.en#nics-sparc-trouble
An easier way to prevent loading dmfe.ko is to boot the installer
with 'install dmfe.blacklist=yes'. This is already documented in the
development version of the installation guide:
