di & net-initrd & powerpc
I got the 'net-initrd' image for powerpc from:
http://www.soziologie.ch/users/steinlin/d-i/
I try to run it on an IBM 44P-170; however, it goes into an infinite loop:
~snip
Cannot open template file /var/lib/cdebconf/templates.dat
Cannot open template file /var/lib/cdebconf/templates.dat
Cannot open question file /var/lib/cdebconf/questions.dat
readlink: /proc/self/fd/0: No such file or directory
Cannot open template file /var/lib/cdebconf/templates.dat
Cannot open question file /var/lib/cdebconf/questions.dat
Cannot open template file /var/lib/cdebconf/templates.dat
~snip
I guess it is because the 'templates.dat' and 'questions.dat' files are
missing?
# ls -Rla /export/di/root_fs/var/lib/cdebconf

If this is the problem, how do I obtain/create these files?
