Comments/Problems:

No framebuffer seems to be used by installer: fonts looked rough.
Non-ascii characters were not shown. (BTW: the 2004-09-29 installer had
good UTF-8 on console.)

The installer complained: Unable to load some modules: usb-storage,
floppy, ide-mod, ide-probe-mod, ide-detect, ide-generic, ide-floppy.

I've tried to install using an .iso image on the local disk (as
documented for i286 installs.)  However, the installer insists on
finding a CD; it did not check for a file named *.iso on the local disk.

I had no /dev/hda .

However, I can manually do

 mount /dev/ide/host0/bus0/target0/lun0/part1 /tmp

but when I try

 mount -t iso9660 -o loop \
  /tmp/boot/sarge-sparc-businesscard.iso-installer-20041013 /cdrom

I get

 mount: Could not find a spare loop device

.

Perhaps there's a reason this installation method is not documented
for sparc hardware...


BTW: I can manually assing a static IP to eth0 (installer didn't
configure eth0).

Thanks, Bye,

Joost

We are closing this installation report for one of the following
reasons:
- it was reported with a pre-lenny version of Debian
  Installer.
- indications in the installation report give the feeling that
  the reported problem waslying in another software, unrelated to
  D-I, which we can't easily identify.
- indications in the installation report suggest that it may have been
  fixed in a more recent version of a D-I component
- it was successful and we forgot closing it..:-)
- it has no information we consider useful


The D-I team is currently in the process of cleaning out the old spool
of installation reports that haven't bene processed yet. 

In case you think that the problem you reported has chances to be
still present, please reiterate your installation test with
a more recent image of D-I, if you're in position of doing this.

You'll find daily builds at
http://www.debian.org/devel/debian-installer. We recommend you choose
the netboot image, in the "daily builds section", then choose to
install "squeeze" when prompted.

If some problems are found, please report them with a new bug sent
against installation-reports.

Many thanks for your understanding and your help improving Debian,
past and present.
