Awesome, great to hear! Were there any issues you encountered?

- spend too much time actually...

Yeah, this is currently inevitable. This is still work-in-progress and
as long as I don't have physical hardware for testing, it's hard to
make the proper improvements.

Great. Let me know if you want me to set this up as a buildd. Since
this machine is extremely fast, we could run several buildd instances
without any noticable slow-down.

No go for me unfortunately. I'm using a preseed file with only "d-i debian-installer/allow_unauthenticated boolean true".

Start the installer with,

boot: install preseed/url="" href="http://x-server.olberg.name/preseed-sparc.cfg">http://x-server.olberg.name/preseed-sparc.cfg and as repo ftp.debian-ports.org/debian/ (which seems to work fine).

Which seems to work fine, until I get to the formatting part, where it seems to hang at 33%. This is in an LDOM on a T5140, tried changing from zvol to file, also tried ext2 and ext3 instead of ext4. Same result every time.
