Comments/Problems:

*)
Initial boot worked very well. But I was unable to select a proper USB
keyboard keymap. The closest I got was 'mac-usb-uk', while it should be 'mac-usb-us'. I reported a while ago this as a workaround for kernel 2.4.27, but this choice is transeferred by the installer to the target installation. In short, it means no '#' on the keyboard, but a 'pound' sign instead :-( 
And that's bad because there is no documented workaround of how to change
keyboard keymap AFTER installation, from 'uk' to 'us' layout.

This is fixed in kernel 2.6.8 based netboot images, BTW.
(I mean: mac-usb-us is there and it works).

**)
Yup, another unsuccesful report with the same 'Unable to mount CD' error.
And that's the most strange, because on VT3 I can see modules loading
without errors:

Using /lib/modules/2.4.27-2-sparc64/kernel/drivers/ide/ide-disk.o
insmod    ide-disk
Using /lib/modules/2.4.27-2-sparc64/kernel/drivers/cdrom/cdrom.o
Using /lib/modules/2.4.27-2-sparc64/kernel/drivers/ide/ide-cd.o
insmod    cdrom
insmod    ide-cd
Using /lib/modules/2.4.27-2-sparc64/kernel/fs/isofs/isofs.o
insmod    isofs

And listing /dev/ide from VT2 shows no entries at all...
There is no /dev/discs directory, too.

However, on the VT4 I can see many hw-detect messages, but saying only
that it detected some modules and that it is trying to load them.
Success is on the following module:

May  6 14:50:01 hw-detect: Detected module 'alim15x3' for 'IDE chipset support'
May  6 14:50:01 hw-detect: Trying to load module 'alim15x3'
May  6 14:50:01 kernel: ALI15X3: IDE controller at PCI slot 00:0d.0
May  6 14:50:01 kernel: ALI15X3: chipset revision 195
...
... <skipped a bit of 'Detected/Trying' pairs, without success>
...
May  6 14:50:02 hw-detect: Detected discover version1, installing discover1.
May  6 14:50:02 hw-detect: Detected hotplug support, installing hotplug.
May 6 14:50:02 hw-detect: Missing modules 'ohci1394 (Sun Microsystems Corp. RIO 1394), usb-storage (USB storage), floppy (Linux Floppy), ide-core (Linux IDE support), ide-mod (Linux IDE driver), ide-probe-mod (Linux IDE probe driver), ide-detect (Linux IDE detection), ide-generic (Linux IDE support), ide-floppy (Linux floppy)

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.
