debian-installer does not prompt for terminal type when installing
from a serial console, and apparently assumes an 80x24 color ansi
termianl.  While only the size is incorrect in the cases I have
tested, (it looks a bit stupid to only use a small portion of the
screen) this assumption could make d-i unusable on some systems.

Serial consoles are not uncommon on sparc systems.

We are closing this bug report against debian-installer 
for one of the following reasons:
- it was reported with a pre-lenny version of Debian
  Installer.
- indications in the bug report give the feeling that
  the reported problem was lying 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.
