Comments/Problems:
The installation process runs ok as far as d-i is concerned, but the installed system lacks
two things by default:
a) proper display resolution in X
b) working audio
X display resolution
====================
X.org does not seem to detect the real monitor capabilities and seems to assume a
default monitor with very limited capabilities. From /var/log/Xorg.0.log:
(II) MACH64(0): <default monitor>: Using default hsync range of 31.50-37.90 kHz
(II) MACH64(0): <default monitor>: Using default vrefresh range of 50.00-70.00 Hz
The actual monitor connected to the system is a 15" TFT with a native resolution of
1024x768, capable of hsync up to 64kHz and vrefresh up to 75Hz.
Due to the wrong or missing monitor detection, X.org discards all modes for 1024x768
and starts up in only 800x600, which is too small for practical use.

Non-working audio
=================
By default, no audio driver gets loaded; one has to manually run
"modprobe snd-sun-cs4231" oder add the module to /etc/modules.
