Comments/Problems:

Everything worked, except that I had to manually set bootdef_dev in SRM
before the system would boot.  I understand that figuring out what SRM
names map to which Linux devices may be difficult, but there ought to at
least be some notification to the user at the end of the install process
about this.

Also, the system by default installs kernel symlinks at /vmlinuz and
/vmlinuz.old (and kernel install packages rotate these and the
associated initrd symlinks).  This is problematic because aboot can not
make use of cross-filesystem symlinks, especially when / is XFS.  In
order to make aboot behave correctly for new kernel installs, the
/vmlinuz and /vmlinuz.old symlinks should simply be moved into /boot.

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.
