Etch on sunblade 150 : installer menus problem

[Vera Mickael <vera.mickael@free.fr>]

Hi,

I try to install etch on a sunblade 150, I reached the stage 
 where I can see the first installer menu. For those who 
encountered the same problems as me, I used the boot command:

boot net video=atyfb:off

My problem is that the menu isn't displayed correctly, 
instead of colors on the border of the menu, special 
caracters are displayed. The screen's background is white 
and caracters are printed in black. I can't see which 
element is selected, there is no element highlighted.
It's not possible to install this way.

Is there an option to pass to the installer ? Is it possible 
to disable ncurses ?

Thanks,
Mickaël
