debian-installer failure on a Sun Fire 280R
Hi,
A few days ago I tried using d-i to install Debian on a Sun Fire 280R.
The beta3 mini-cdrom and a post-beta3 daily build of a netinst image
both failed with the generic error message -- "Fast Data Access MMU Miss" --
immediately after 'boot cdrom' and the reboot.
I didn't try the beta3 netinst because I saw warnings about how it's broken
in another regard.
The boot-floppies installation off of the first 3.0r2 CD booted fine
(also installed with reasonable ease, the custom keyboard layout was a minor
problem).
This is a 280R with one 750MHz processor, a gigabyte of RAM and a couple of
Seagate 36 GB SCSI drives on "QLogic ISP2200 SCSI" (from dmesg).
Other probably relevant information:

(I omitted some extra stuff from dmesg...)
I later put 2.4.25 on it (on woody), it worked flawlessly.
