I tested debian-ports install on HP 9000 A180c (the last 32-bit server with parisc).Thanks for testing!First I needed to find external SCSI CD-ROM with 512-byte block size support - I managed but netboot images would have been much simpler (same goes for sparc64).Adrian mentioned to me, that netboot images are always in the d-i-tarball, e.g.: http://ftp.ports.debian.org/debian-ports/pool-hppa/main/d/debian-installer/debian-installer-images_20190118_hppa.tar.gz I haven't tried myself.
I tried that now that I found another (faster) disk to try install on. The image boots fine, loads its components etc until it gets to choosing mirror. I entered ftp.ports.debian.org and /devian-ports/, it did not find buster but I selected unstable. It still fails, with the following in the log: Mar 21 15:13:16 anna[1165]: WARNING **: bad d-i Packages file Mar 21 15:13:16 anna[1165]: 2019-03-21 15:13:16 URL:http://ftp.ports.debian.org/debian-ports//dists/unstable/Release [ Mar 21 15:13:17 anna[1165]: 2019-03-21 15:13:17 URL:http://ftp.ports.debian.org/debian-ports//dists/unstable/Release.g Mar 21 15:13:17 net-retriever: gpgv: Signature made Thu Mar 21 13:58:29 2019 UTC Mar 21 15:13:17 net-retriever: Mar 21 15:13:17 net-retriever: gpgv: using RSA key 66571731B5A71F91C501F3FDDA1B2CEA81DCBC61 Mar 21 15:13:17 net-retriever: gpgv: Can't check signature: No public key Mar 21 15:13:17 net-retriever: Mar 21 15:13:17 net-retriever: error: Bad signature on /tmp/net-retriever-1200-Release. Any idea how to add another key there? apt-key and gpg seem to be missing from the netinst miniroot. # cd /usr/share/keyrings/ /usr/share/keyrings # ls -l lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 26 Mar 21 15:12 archive.gpg -> debian-archive-keyring.gpg -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 5106 Oct 28 17:22 debian-archive-jessie-automatic.gpg -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 5115 Oct 28 17:22 debian-archive-jessie-security-automatic.gpg -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 2763 Oct 28 17:22 debian-archive-jessie-stable.gpg -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 30142 Oct 28 17:22 debian-archive-keyring.gpg -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 7443 Oct 28 17:22 debian-archive-stretch-automatic.gpg -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 7452 Oct 28 17:22 debian-archive-stretch-security-automatic.gpg -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 2263 Oct 28 17:22 debian-archive-stretch-stable.gpg -- Meelis Roos <mroos@linux.ee>
