Bug#782593: debian-installer: F10 help screen is actually available under F11
Package: debian-installer
Version: 20140802
Severity: normal
[ Continued from #764154 ]

> > "install", "expert", rescue", "installgui", "expertgui", rescuegui",
> > which are all no longer working (at least on x86).
> > That is on pages F3, F4, F6, F7, F8.

Tests:
------
for X in 20140316 20140802 20141002; do
test http://ftp.fr.debian.org/debian/dists/sid/main/installer-amd64/<X>/images/netboot/mini.iso
done
Results:
--------
20140316 is unaffected but the others are. Since the only changes touching
build/boot between both unaffected/first affected versions are the
following ones, I'm tempted to suspect something else changed (syslinux 4
→ 6 happened, for example), and I won't be trying to figure out what that
is since the impact is rather low. Filing a bug report accordingly as I've
announced in my previous mail. In case someone figures out a patch before
the end of the week, that might still end up in D-I Jessie RC3 (see
https://lists.debian.org/debian-boot/2015/04/msg00264.html).

|
| arm: include dtb files for netboot.
|
| More and more platforms require a device tree to boot. We include them in the
| kernel package and the udeb, export them into the installer output as well.
|
| This introduces a new "medium" to the relevant architectures. This isn't a true
| "medium", but since DTBs are common to the netboot/ network-console etc this
| puts them at the top level.
|
| This is enabled for armhf and armel/kirkwood. The other armel subarchs don't
| appear to produce any device tree.

| Add a separate Hurd boot option for CJK support in pseudo-graphical mode
|
| so the default can use 720x400 resolution, instead of using 640x400 which is not
| supported by some screens...
