yo my error, the param is named `workarounds'
^
workarounds=1
but anyway not needed in your case and would lower your performance:
"Firewire-sbp2 defaults to the SCSI stack's maximum transfer size per
command, while sbp2 limits them to 128 kBytes.
Flag 1 accomplishes just that."

not that soon as 2.6.22 might be scheduled by the next d-i beta release.
and for sure not before the release itself,
usualy we upload the next day after the release, unless d-i blocks..
snapshots are working in etch too.
happy weekend
