Comments/Problems:

The netinst cdrom is _still_ panicing with this message:
 Allocated 8 Megs of memory at 0x40000000 for kernel
 Loading initial ram disk of 2890906 bytes at 0x2F800000 phys ...something...
 .... lots of messages missing ....
 NET4: Unix domain sockets 1.0/SMP for Linux NET4.0.
 RAMDISK: couldn't find valid ram disk image starting at 0
 Freeing initrd memory: 2823k freed
 cramfs: wrong magic
 Kernel panic: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on 00:00
  Press L1-A to return to the boot prom

However if I boot _again_, I get to the "Choose Language" prompt.
Unfortunately at this point the USB keyboard does not work, not even L1-A.

If I boot a third time, I get to the same situation.

I tried unplugging the usb mouse, leaving just the keyboard in.
This made no difference.


I could not obtain any boot logs, apart from what I could transcribe
from the screen.

The woody installer fails too, with
   Cannot find /boot/sparc64.gz
(this may be my fault, I am not sure if the disc was sparc32-only)

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.
