No problemo. Btw, I decided to give the sid netinst image (20040616) a 
try also, now that I got the sarge netinst booting. This was 
unsuccessful, however, as I end up with:

[...]
NET4: Unix domain sockets 1.0/SMP for Linux NET4.0.
RAMDISK: Couldn't find valid RAM disk image starting at 0.
Freeing initrd memory: 1820k freed
Kernel panic: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on 00:00
 Press L1-A to return to the boot prom

I guess this relates to issues already discussed about a month ago 
(http://lists.debian.org/debian-sparc/2004/05/msg00139.html).

It would be nice if we could get around this, so this behavior won't 
propagate to the sarge_d-i.

Let me know if you think I should drop the cross-posting and do 
follow-ups to only one of the lists...
