Again - booting Motorola Powerstack II



Hello everybody,

my earlyer request and the answers on it have brought me to the conclusion 
that the only way to boot and install the Mototrola Powerstack II is to 
download a netboot CD image, boot it from tftp and go through the network 
install process.

Obviously only the Etch image will do this properly.

As I pay by volume I want to make sure I understood everything before I 
download GB's of data.

Is it correct that I need to download the Etch netboot image such as

/cdimage/etch_di_rc1/powerpc/iso-cd/debian-testing-powerpc-netinst.iso

and boot it from a local tftp server in my LAN, and will it lead into the Etch 
installation process? 

And - as Etch ist still in "testing" status, will it run stable or are there 
other caveats?

TIA
Matthias
