Comments/Problems:

I burned both the netinst and business card version.

I could not get either to install or get to the point of installation..

Closest I got was with this:
ok> boot cdrom linux root=/dev/rd/0 rw


I was unable to boot to rescue either.

The normal error I get when simply booting to the cdrom and not passing any
special arguments is as follows:
(normal looking output.. )
VFS: Mounted root (ext2 filesystem).
Mounted devfs on /dev
Kernel panic: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on 00:00
 Press L1-A to return to boot prom


The error using netinst cd and "root=/dev/rd/0 rw" arguments:
(normal looking output..)
VFS: Mounted root (ext2 filesystem).
VFS: Mounted root (ext2 filesystem).
Trying to move old root to /initrd ... okay
Warning: unable to open an initial console.
Unimplemented SPARC system call 188
Unimplemented SPARC system call 188
Kernel panic: Attempted to kill init!
 Press L1-A to return to boot prom

The error using business card cd and "root=/dev/rd/0 rw" arguments was that it
looked normal at first.. Then it turned the top half of my screen red and i got stairstep'd ouput saying "segmentation fault" repeatedly.

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.
