Netinst fails for Sparc
Hi there,
I am trying to install a Netra T1 200 via netboot.
The machine has no cdrom so I am using a tftp server with dhcp to
bootstrap the system.
All goes well, until I point it at my local debian mirror (i386,sparc,hppa).
It gets the release file, and some of the installer files, but fails at 20%.
The log for my local http mirror is:

I have checked the files on the mirror, and
/debian//pool/main/d/ddetect/hw-detect-full_1.14_all.udeb exists, and is
readable.
I assume it's something to do with the mirror, but I don't know what -
i386 clients boot OK, and updates are not a problem - it just seems to be
whilst installing a sparc client.
If I change mirror to point to somewhere else, it works .. I have tried
removing the ddetect directory and reimaging, but to no avail..
Any pointers?
Cheers,
Pete.
