Bug#865314: debian-installer-9-netboot-mips: 32bit MIPS (big-endian) Malta netboot installer doesn't boot
Package: debian-installer-9-netboot-mips
Severity: normal
Dear Maintainer,
I wanted to install Debian Stretch MIPS in QEMU.
It seems that the netboot installer is broken and stops while unpacking the initrd.
Steps to reproduce:
wget http://ftp.nl.debian.org/debian/dists/stretch/main/installer-mips/current/images/malta/netboot/initrd.gz
wget http://ftp.nl.debian.org/debian/dists/stretch/main/installer-mips/current/images/malta/netboot/vmlinux-4.9.0-3-4kc-malta
qemu-system-mips -M malta -m 256 -kernel vmlinux-4.9.0-3-4kc-malta -initrd initrd.gz -nographic
